으)ㄴ/는데 Message Background Information Marks 엄마가 왔는데 빨리

Front 엄마가 왔는데 빨리 바지를 입어라!
Back Mom's here; put your pants on quickly!
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.
