"Because."

In this usage, 'pretože' explains the reason behind the lack of mutual understanding—speaking different languages.

Nerozumia si, pretože hovoria rôznymi jazykmi.

They don't understand each other because they speak different languages.

Here 'pretože' introduces a reason or explanation for the preceding clause, connecting the cause (being ill) with the effect (couldn't come).

I couldn't come because I was ill.

Here 'pretože' is used to link the speaker's daily studying habit with their goal or motivation (improving knowledge).

I study every day because I want to improve my knowledge.
