Exactly

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

thx

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

No, no, I didn´t mean that. "-çe/-ça" suffixes are one of most used suffixes of Turkish, but they are generally not used to give the meaning you asked.

They have a lot places that we can use and they give a lot different meanings. But we rarely use them to handle "oldukça" meaning.

thx

Yes my friend.

But, for "for a pretty long time" say, "uzun bir zaman"

The structure you have asked is not used common, it is rarely used in daily Turkish.

thx

This structure gives "considerably" meaning.

Küçük + çe : considerably small,

Büyük + çe : considerably big

or,

Büyükçe : Oldukça büyük

Küçükçe : Oldukça küçük

You can use "epey" insteaed of "oldukça" if you wish.

Well -

1) "olup biten" sentence has got two verbs: "olmak" and "bitmek"

Olmak, means "to happen, to occure" and bitmek means "to end"

verb root+(-ıp/-ip/-up/-üp) + verb+(-en/-an) is a structure that connects two verbs with each other. In here, this structure means "the things that happened and ended"

gelip giden : the person who comes and sees. (or came and saw).

yiyip içen : the person who eats and drinks. (or ate and drunk)

2) Üzerinde kolaylıkla kayabileceğini düşünerek.

Thinking that he/she/it can easily skate on it.

kaymak : to skate

kayabilmek : to be able to skate / can skate

kayabileceğini : ...that he/she/it can skate.

3) Sophie kirecin beyazlığına, pürüzsüzlüğüne hayran olmuştu.

Beyazlık : Whiteness.

Its whiteness/brightness : beyazlığı

to its whiteness/brightness : beyazlığına

Pürüzsüzlük : Slickness

Its slickness : pürüzsüzlüğü

to its slickness : pürüzsüzlüğüne

kirecin pürüzsüzlüğüne : to the slickness of lime.

kirecin beyazlığına : to the whiteness/brightness of lime.

Because of "hayran olmak" verb, these two adjectives turned into "dative form."

Sophie kirecin beyazlığına, pürüzsüzlüğüne hayran olmuştu.

Sophie admired to the whiteness, slickness of lime.
