Answer

The phrase "seeing as" pretty much means "because", yes.

"Seeing as it's late, let's go home."
"Seeing as it's my birthday, I suppose I'll have a drink."

Thank you!!!

Answer

You have to replace "seeing as", not just the "seeing" part.

It's usually used in place of "since". It's more commonly spoken than written.

- Seeing as it's lunchtime ...
- Since it's lunchtime ...
