Dasein is a German word and is sometimes translated as being-there or being-here (da combines in its meaning here and there, excluding the spatial-relational distinction made by the English words; Sein is the infinitive, to be).eidegger, after Nietzsche, used the word, but as a gerund synonym for human being or human entity.. A Dasein is then a new coinage for a being that is there, in a familiar world, and in a mood. Dasein also has unique capacities for language, intersubjective communication, and detached reasoning.
