Hello all..

 

I want to know how to use "Uğruna".. I know it means " for... sake" right?

 

 

 

Uğruna is a kind of dramatic and exeggerated saying of "for..."

 

And by that, it gains a meaning like "for the...sake"

 

Senin uğruna : For you, for your sake

 

Sizin uğrunuza : (Plural) for you, for your sake

 

 

 

thx

Yardımın için çok teşekkür ederim.. But when I want to say " for my sake ", Can I say "Benim uğruma" or??

Exactly

 

Benim uğruma ne yaptın? What did you do for me/for my sake?

 

thx

don´t think so

 

uğruma has more of the meaning of for me, for my sake. i.e. to help me.

 

In the name of: adımda, or adımla is more like on my behalf, by me (but a third person). i.e. I am not doing it, but you are doing it in my place, representing me
