Questions & Answers about Dieses Erfolgserlebnis motiviert mich weiter.
What does Erfolgserlebnis mean exactly, and how is it different from just Erfolg?
Erfolg means success in a general sense – a successful result, an achievement.
Erlebnis means experience (something you personally live through).
Erfolgserlebnis is a compound of these two and means something like:
- a specific experience of success,
- a moment of achievement,
- a feeling of success after you have accomplished something.
So while Erfolg can be abstract (success in life, in business, in school), Erfolgserlebnis is more concrete and emotional: that particular success that you really felt and noticed.
Why is it dieses and not dieser or diese?
