Dasein (German pronunciation: [ˈdaːzaɪn]) is a German word which literally means being there (German: da - there; sein - being) often translated in English with the word "existence". It is a fundamental concept in the existential philosophy of Martin Heidegger particularly in his magnum opus Being and Time. Heidegger uses the expression Dasein to refer to the experience of "being" that is peculiar to human beings. Thus it is a form of being that is aware of and must confront such issues as personhood, mortality and the dilemma or paradox of living in relationship with other humans while being ultimately alone with oneself.

Dasein, not design.

Thought it was cool synchronicity in sound, definition. plus the german accent.

the link you made is really random... besides: »design« in german rather sounds like »die sein« which would translate to »being her« or »being them« ... also »design« is a common word no one would mistake for »dasein«. the only reference I can think of is the jokingly used »design oder nicht sein« which is an allusion to Shakespeares »to be or not to be« (»sein oder nicht sein«)

The Korean word for design is 설계 (seol-gye), which also means snowy valley.
Think about it.
