What's the difference between für, bei, während, and wegen
Usually means 'at, with, during' and does not match 'für' in the sense of purpose; it can indicate place, circumstance, or involvement.
Means 'during, while'. It is a temporal conjunction or preposition, not a word for expressing purpose.
Means 'because of, due to'. It indicates a cause, not a purpose, so it differs from 'für' in the sense of purpose.
