plural of experience
"After visiting Paris and Tokyo, she shared her unique experiences from both cities during dinner."
In plain English: Experiences are the things that happen to you while you are living your life.
"She shared her exciting travel experiences with everyone at the party."
Usage: Use "experiences" to refer to multiple distinct events or occurrences that you have lived through, such as visiting different countries or trying new foods. Do not use this plural form when referring to general knowledge or skill gained from a single situation, which remains uncountable as "experience."
Third-person singular simple present indicative form of experience
"She experiences sudden headaches whenever she changes her medication."
In plain English: To experience something as a verb means to go through an event or feeling directly with your own senses.
"She has traveled to many countries and experienced diverse cultures."
Usage: Use experiences as the third-person singular form of the verb to describe when he, she, or it undergoes or feels something specific. For example, say "She experiences joy during the holiday" rather than using the plural form experiences with a singular subject.
Derived from the Latin experiri meaning "to try" or "test," this plural noun originates from the verb form experimentum. It originally referred to trials conducted to discover facts before evolving to denote events undergone by a person.
