Explaining causes with "yinwei"

A common way to explain causes in Chinese is with 因为 (yīnwèi). This is almost entirely equivalent to "because" in English. Usually 因为 will begin a new phrase in a sentence.

Some examples:

• 我 不 喜欢 汉字，<en>因为</en> 很 难 记。
• 她 喜欢 你，<en>因为</en> 你 很 友好。
• 我 滑 了 一 个 跟头 了，<en>因为</en> 我 喝 了 太多 啤酒。
