으)ㄴ/는데 Message Background Information Marks 선물을 보내고 싶은데

Front 선물을 보내고 싶은데, 주소 좀 알려 주세요
Back I want to send you a present so tell me your address
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.
