meinetwegen

meinetwegen

German

Adverb

meinetwegen

  1. because of me, for my sake
    Das ist alles meinetwegen passiert.
    All of this happened because of me.
  2. as far as I am concerned (I don't mind if); for all I care

Usage notes

Colloquially, this term is usually constructed with the seperated form (especially in the southern language area), thus wegen mir instead of meinetwegen. In sense 2, however, both are equally common in the vernacular.
