from German to English
'Die "Erlebnisse" diesess "Lebens"...'The connection between 'Leben' ('life') and 'Erlebnisse' ('Experiences') is lost in translation. An 'Erlebnis' is not just any 'experience' (Erafahrung'), but one which we feel deeply and 'live through'. We shall translate 'Erlebnis' and 'erleben' by 'Experience with a capital 'E', reserving 'experience' for 'Erfahrung' and 'erfahren'.
from the translator's notes to Being and Time, by Martin Heidegger
