If you watch ‘the glory' on Netflix, 
you can hear this expression in the first episode.
Yeon-jin’s daughter says this. 

우리 엄마는 주인공이 아니에요. (My mom is not a leading role)
우리 엄마는 부자니까요.(Because she’s rich)
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까.(Because the leading roles have always been poor)
You can hear ~~니까 in common. 

In Korean language, there are several expressions meaning “because”.
Some of You may already know about that. 
The basic thing is “~~이기 때문이에요”, “~이기 때문에”
If we replace the lines with ~~이기 때문에, 

우리 엄마는 부자이기 때문이에요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하기 때문에. 
But you can also use “~~니까” instead of ~~때문에

우리 엄마는 부자니까요. 
주인공들은 원래 다 가난하니까. 

Here are other samples. 
사람이니까 실수할 수 있어요. Because you are a human, you can make a mistake.
더우니까 아이스크림을 먹고 싶어요. Because it’s hot, I want to have an Ice-cream.

Don’t forget this.

こんばんは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今回は、～わりに、です。
意味は、これぐらいかな、と思ってたよりは良い時、悪い時、両方使いますね。

・あのラーメン、値段のわりにおいしかったなー。

・かぜひいてるわりに、元気やな。

・連休のわりに今日の札幌は人少ないなぁ。

・期待したわりにはあんまりおもしろくなかったなー。

・はじめてやったわりに、結構うまいやん。


こんな感じですね。
結構使いやすいです。

ぼくもよく使います。
思ってたよりも良い、悪いという感想は日常生活でよくありますね。

みなさんもぜひ練習したり、例文作ったりしてみてください！

ぼくの日本語のレッスンでもこういった例文を作る練習もできます。興味のある方はぜひ、オンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

お待ちしています！


今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
