What is "for" in Japanese?

Postby 123kaleidoscope123_501118 » November 29th, 2014 2:52 pm

How would I say "for"?
Some examples:
I had cake FOR my birthday.
I made this FOR a game.
I waited FOR my friend.
I went out FOR some fresh air.

Konnichiwa.
It depends on the sentences.

I had cake FOR my birthday. 私の誕生日のためのケーキがあります。

I made this FOR a game. ゲームのためにこれを作りました。

I waited FOR my friend. 友だちを待ちます。

I went out FOR some fresh air. 新鮮な空気を吸うために出かけました。
