Today’s word of the day is 历 (lì) [REPEAT] which means to experience or to undergo. Let’s practice by making different words, phrases, and sentences with 历 (lì).

The first word is 历史 (lì shǐ) which means history. A way of using it in a sentence is 我对历史有兴趣。(Wǒ duì lìshǐ yǒu xìngqù.) I am interested in history.
经历 (jīng lì) Experience
Another word we can create with 历 (lì) is 经历 (jīng lì). This means experience. A way of using it in a sentence is 你能从这些经历中学到什么呢? (Nǐ néng cóng zhèxiē jīnglì zhōngxué dào shénme ne?) What can you learn from this experience?
学历 (xué lì) Educational background
Finally, we can create the word 学历 (xué lì) which means educational background. The 学 here means to learn. You may see this word on résumés or job descriptions. A way of using it in a sentence is 你的学历是什么?(Nǐ de xuélì shì shénme?) What is your educational background? If someone asks you this, you can tell the highest level of education you have received. For example was it a bachelor's, master's, or maybe a doctorate degree.
