I love this country, the reason for which I moved here ten years ago.

[Mike MC]

Is the following grammatically correct?
"I love this country, the reason why/for which I moved here ten years ago."

How about this one?
"I love this country, for which I moved here ten years ago."

 

[tedmc]

No. You have two clauses which are are not properly connected.
I wrote write:
I love this country. which is why I moved here ten years ago.

Neither is correct. I think you're trying to say "I love this country. That's why I moved here ten years ago" or "I love this country. That's the reason I moved here ten years ago".

 

[emsr2d2]

I wrote would write:
I love this country, which is why I moved here ten years ago.

What about the following?
I love this country, which is the reason for which/why I moved here ten years ago.

 

[Piscean]

I love this country, which is the reason for which/why I moved here ten years ago.

I'd omit the 'why', but many people use it.

 

[Mike MC]

I'd omit the 'why', but many people use it.

I thought we could use the reason for which instead of the reason why. Here's an example:

Do you know the reason why she doesn't like me? (= . . . the reason for which . . .)

Swan is just helping you understand the meaning and use there. He's not saying it's a good alternative.

The long version:

I love this country, which is the reason I moved here ten years ago.

The short version:
