this is kind of a swenglish intermixing.

Swedish entry word
erfar [²'e:rfa:r] erfor erfarit erfar! erfara verb
få veta; pröva på, uppleva; sluta sig till
(A erfar x/att + S)


English translation
be informed, learn; gather


Examples
enligt vad Rapport erfarit---Rapport has been informed that
jag har fått erfara vad fattigdom innebär---I have learned the meaning of poverty


......so, by adding the extra R, it brings the english word " err " into the mixture, combined with the meaning of " erfar " it implies learning by making a mistake, maybe thru direct experience, which ties in nicely with what i'm trying to do here on this blog, i'm sure i will make many mistakes, but hopefully i can learn from them somehow.

er in swedish is a pronoun for " you " , either as object or possessive & fara can mean a few different things, but in this sense would mean go, fetch, retrieve -- so it would imply "you going" (learning by the feel of the road, so to speak) & the word enfaren means experienced, practiced, skilled & how one gains that experience is by going, sometimes down the wrong road, but at least going somewhere.
