Semantics

[kyrasantae]

German has "Erlebnis" and "Erfahrung", and Finnish has "kokemus" and "elämys", but guess what, English has only one word for both of those things >_<

that is so unfair

because i want to talk about the latter [experience of feelings, internal learnings] but people always expect the former [experience of events, tangible experience].

Yet another example of how limiting English is. You should hear my yoga guru complain about English...
