선생님 덕분에 이제 알겠어요. 감사합니다~

[@hyacynth]

There's so many ways to say "because" in Korean, lol. I've always thought it's 때문에 since I've heard it a lot from song lyrics and in dramas. (Hint: Bangtan's Hormone War with their lines, "누구 때문에? 여자 때문에." Lol.) But then as I was following your curriculum, lessons about ~아/어/여서 and ~(으)니까 came up and I thought I was quite getting the hang of it, and now these. There's also 왜냐면(?), right? Aaaaah, I really need to get back to studying, lmao. Thanks for this!

[@MrYapook]

first of all, thank you for sharing your wisdom, and keep up your good work. you talked only about these examples because that's what the lady asked, but maybe you can do a follow up with these examples (According to, Due to: ~에 의하다, ~(으)로 인하다) as a complement, or these have a slightly different nuance? as i was studying them, i didn't think they were different as in blaming/ thanking, like you explained so well in this video. or maybe it's just the active/passive sentence? once again, thank you for your hard work team ttmik.

[@Hwaksun]

~ 에 의하다 can be translated as "to be by ~" in most cases, whether it is a way that something is done by, or a person that something is done or said by. It can be used anytime you want to emphasized who or what something is done by. For example, you can say "뉴욕 타임즈에 의하면," which means "As said 'by' New York Times," but you can also say "조선은 이성계에 의해 건국되었다," which means "Chosen was built 'by' 이성계." You can also say "모든 국민은 헌법에 의해 자유를 보장받는다" which means "All citizens are guaranteed of freedom 'by' the constitution," or "이 방정식의 해는 미분에 의해 도출될 수 있다," meaning "The solution to this equation can be derived 'by' differentiation." ~(으)로 인하다 is just another way of saying ~ 때문이다. There's nothing more than that.

I saw in a few korean dramas, when the person was pissed with the other and was being sarcastic they said, "thanks to you- i had a horrible day/ i won't be able to come here again..." That's why i had the question if 덕분 can be used sarcastically or not....

Now im wondering.. can it also be used in sarcasm?

선현우 선생님 안녕하세요. I would just like to ask: for longer sentences ( like in your example 10:07 ) would it be a more colloquially "elegant " form to use the "-느라고" structure, rather then "탓에"? or not necessarily. 감사합니다.😊
