Also spelled eunika, unikka

because / since, after consonant stems

The same reason-giving ending as -니까, in the shape it takes on a stem ending in a consonant: 만두가 제일 맛있으니까 먹어 봐요 is "our dumplings are the best, so try them", 받침이 있으니까 is "since it has a final consonant". It fronts the speaker's own reasoning, so it sits naturally before a suggestion, an instruction, or a warning — 조심하세요 ("be careful") follows it easily, where the more neutral 어서 would not. It also frames discovery: 설명을 들으니까 이해돼요 is "now that I've heard the explanation, I get it".
