usage notes, top meaning Colloquially, this term is usually constructed with the seperated form (especially in the southern language area), thus wegen ihm instead of seinetwegen. In sense 2, however, both are equally common in the vernacular.
  1. because of him, for his sake Das ist alles seinetwegen passiert. All of this happened because of him.
  2. as far as he is concerned (he doesn't mind if); for all he cares Seinetwegen kannst du mitkommen. As far as he is concerned, you can come with us.
