으)ㄴ/는데 Message Background Information Marks 식당에 갈 시간이

Front 식당에 갈 시간이 없는데 점심을 배달시켜 먹읍시다
Back We don't have time to go to the restaurant, so let's have lunch delivered
Notes The -(으)ㄴ/는데 marked message provides a piece of background information and thus can be used to justify a command, proposal or suggestion.

In this usage, the principle acts similar to the clausal connective -(으)니까. However, -(으)ㄴ/는데 marks the clause containing a relevant background information that justifies the request or the proposal. Whereas -(으)니까 marks the direct reason for the imperative message conveyed by the second clause.
