How do you make a sentence using "because" in korean?

I don't know what "because" means in korean and how to use "because" in korean sentences.
Please kindly explain and give examples about it. Thanks a lot (:

You can use reason + ~(으)니까 - add 으 if the previous word ends in a consonant, leave it as is if it ends in a vowel.
Consonant:
Q: 왜 바빠요? Why are you busy?
A: 할 일이 많으니까요. Because I have a lot of things to do.
Vowel:
Q: 왜 한국어를 공부해요? Why are you studying Korean?
A: 한국 드라마를 좋아하니까. Because I like Korean drama.
You can also use ~때문에
Q: 왜 웃어요? Why are you smiling?
A: 남자친구 때문에 웃어요. I'm smiling because of my boyfriend.
But if you're gonna use ~때문에 with a verb, attach 기 to the verb first.
Q: 왜 한국음식을 먹어요? Why do you eat Korean food?
A: 한국음식을 좋아하기 때문에이에요. Because I like Korean food.
