When you'd hear it
Common in spoken Korean, from casual conversation to polite requests and suggestions. It appears often in dramas and everyday planning when the speaker presents an expected situation as the reason for what follows.
What learners get wrong
Unlike -(으)니까, -(으)ㄹ 테니까 includes the speaker’s expectation or intention about what will happen. -(으)니까 can give a more neutral reason without that future or intentional nuance.
