Long explanation:
'기 때문에 [gi ttaemune]' is a grammar point used in Korean to express a reason or cause related to an action, which is equivalent to 'because of doing' in English. This form is composed of the nominalizing suffix '기' attached to a verb stem, then followed by '때문에' which functions as a connecting ending meaning 'because'. It's typically used to explain the cause-effect relationship between two actions or situations.
