Proper participle

Question

我经验过 还是 我经验了? since guo also means experience I am wondering if one of these is the right way, actually i can't remember exactly how to use guo.

is it redundant to use guo when already using jing yan?

Answer 1

both possible，see below, 经验 is mostly used as noun, although as pointed out by OP it can function as verb, "to experience" most often is 经历, e.g. 亲身经历过, bkrs: most examples for use as noun, only one for verb among 7 pages of examples: 我经验了那个,现代汉语词典 does have 经验 as verb:经验(2)经历（１）：这样的事，我从来没经验过，iciba in fact only translates 经验 as noun

Answer 2

经验 is mostly used as a noun, the common words for the verb "to experience" is "经历" or "体验" in Chinese

The verb particle 过 denotes the "experience" aspect of the verb

The verb particle 了 denotes the "completion" aspect of the verb

• 经历風浪 = [going through crisis] (no indication of tense, actually Chinese words don't have tense)

• 经历过風浪 means [had experienced going through crisis]

• 经历了風浪 indicates [the verb experience in "experience crisis" is completed]

In 去经历風浪 (go experience crisis), neither 'go' nor 'experience' is completed

In 去了经历風浪, the verb 'go' is completed

In 去经历風浪了, the verb phrase 'go experience crisis' is completed
