Yes, 经历 (jīnglì) can be used in an informal context. It is commonly used in spoken language to describe personal experiences or events that have left an impression on someone. It can also be used to refer to someone's life experiences or background.

For example, someone might say "我经历过很多挑战" (wǒ jīnglì guò hěn duō tiǎozhàn) which means "I have been through many challenges." This usage of 经历 is informal and can be used in casual conversations among friends or family.

Another example is "他的经历很丰富" (tā de jīnglì hěn fēngfù) which means "He has a rich life experience." This usage of 经历 is also informal and can be used to describe someone's background or past experiences.
