HSK level
HSK 3

为了 is pronounced wèile and means “in order to”. It is one of the words in the HSK 3 vocabulary, a level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, China’s standardised Chinese proficiency test. Recognising a word on a page and recalling it when you need it are different skills, and only the second survives a conversation — which is why LexiTrail shows you 为了 again just before you would have forgotten it, rather than on a fixed schedule.
