experimentar

to experience

verb eks-peh-ree-men-TAHR Less Common

Also means

to experiment

Usage Note

Experimentar covers both 'to undergo/experience' (experimentar dolor) and 'to conduct experiments' (experimentar con sustancias), so context distinguishes the sense. The reflexive experimentarse is rare; use experimentar without a pronoun in both meanings.

Examples

"El paciente experimentó una mejora notable."
