За то, что

I see this a lot, especially in poetry, but I'm not completely sure of its meaning. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

Its kinda like "because" or "for the reason"

я ненавижу тебя за то что от тебя пахнёт сигаретами.
I hate you because you smell like cigarettes.


Im sure someone can explain it better but thats pretty much what it means.

This correction is not for you, Dogboy182, I know you are cool.

пахнёт is pornounced "pakh-nyot"
пахнет is pornounced "pakh-nit"
