Definition
经过 (jīngguò) has two main uses: verb meaning 'to pass by' (a place) or 'to go through' (an experience), and noun meaning 'process of events'. Unlike 过去 (guòqù 'pass by'), which focuses on movement from here to there, 经过 emphasizes the route or period traversed. For 'to experience', 经过 stresses the overall process and result, while 经历 (jīnglì) highlights the personal experience itself.
