THE PREPOSITION "POR".

95. The object or purpose with reference to which an act is performed

or a condition exists is expressed by the preposition "por", for. It

directs the thought toward its complement, contrasting thus with "pro"

(86):

Mi havas libron por vi, I have a book for you.

Mi ne havas la tempon por tiel longa promeno,

I have not the time for so long a (such a long) walk.

Ili faris gxin por via plezuro, they did it for your pleasure.
