Long explanation:
'~테니까 [tenikka]' is a conjugation used in Korean to express a specific cause or reason, similar to 'so' or 'therefore' in English. It is a connective expression appended to a verb's stem, mainly used to provide a reason or cause for a particular situation, action, or behavior. Note that it indicates that the statement of reason precedes the statement of consequence.
