How to say "for" in Korean?
It's 위해, right? But can you use that in sentences like "I bought this gift for you." and "My heart beats only for you."? If not, how?
Thank you~

Native Koreans correct me if I am wrong pls.
-기 위해(서) means "in order too" or "for"...:
For me to go traveling (in order to go traveling) I need to save money
여행을 가기 위해서 (저는) 돈을 모아야 해요.
Then there is -에게 or -한테, which would mean "for" when you give a letter or gift:
I bought a present for Nyancat
Nyancat 씨에게 선물을 샀어요
Nyancat 씨한테 선물을 샀어요
Finally, the word "you" is a bit funny in Korean language. For wife or husband and close friends you can use 당신, but in most other cases you would use Name + 씨 or name plus title or something. 그대 is more used in literature and songs.
Good luck!

for = 위해
I bought this gift for you. = 난 너를 '위해' 이 선물을 샀어.
My heart beats only for you. = 내 심장은 오직 너 만을 '위해' 뛰어.
bye~
