Hi folks,

Fazer algo por fazer=To do something for the sake of doing it.

b)I don´t study for the sake of studying.
c)I don´t work for the sake of working.


That´s all folks!

Sorry about the "revival" of this topic, but what about the expression "for kicks"?

Does it have a different meaning?

Hello Carlosaml,

I´ve got the impression that "for kicks" means "for fun",it can actually mean "not professionally."

All the best!
