experienced
Usage Note
erfahren as a verb means to learn or find out a piece of news (ich habe es gestern erfahren), not to gain practical skill. As an adjective it means 'experienced', e.g. ein erfahrener Arzt. It is inseparable, so the er- never detaches.
Examples
"Ich habe es gerade erst erfahren."
Natural Translation
I just found out about it.
Literal Translation
I have it just only found-out.
