OP There are at least three English words available for translating the German "Krankheit": disease, illness, sickness.
There is certainly a fair degree of overlap between the meanings of these three words. But I should be interested to know the dimensions of their divergence (severity?, subjective vs. objective?, popular vs. scientific?). What does the team think?
