Korean grammar · Level 4 · 4급
N(으)로 인해 · N(으)로 인한 + N
Because of N — the written 'cause' phrase
from Level 3 you can give causes in speech — 때문에, 덕분에, 탓에. News and essays prefer a more formal phrase, and Sori just showed it: an editorial names its causes with 인해. You will meet it in every article you read.
Example
폭우로 인해 지하철 운행이 잠시 멈췄어요.
Because of the heavy rain, subway service stopped for a while.
