@haru0511 quick question about ために what is it used for? thought it was only used for people or a person
- Japanese
If Japanese ppl see the only this word ために, they think it's 'for' like you said;
This is for you.
あなたのために。
But ために is not only for 'for', but also for 'to', like below;
I sent you a message to make sure what you did.
わたしはあなたがなにをしたか確認するために、メッセージを送った。
I was waiting for you to ask a question.
わたしは質問をするために、あなたを待っていた。
If you have any questions, ask me anytime.

can ために be kinda like the phrase " for the sake of"
Example
for the sake of knowing, can you tell me what it is
for the sake of the surprise can you do this
for the sake of the dog please throw the ball!
these sentences aren't natural but they are correct.
