riesgo is a noun but

Question

It is listed as a noun but I want to use it as a verb but I can't find a conjugation for the following.... they risked their lives daily.

Answer 1

Hi Bill. Welcome to the forum.

The verb you're looking for is "arriesgar."

For example: She risked her life to save me = Arriesgó su vida por rescatarme.

Or you can use "arriesgarse" as Nathaniel says. - --Mariana--, Sep 15, 2009

Answer 2

arriesgarse, or correr (un) riesgo.

I would say:

Se arriesgaron sus vidas diariamente. (The risks their lives daily.)

Pusieron en peligro sus vidas diariamente. (Put their lives in danger daily.)

But maybe a native has a better way to say it.
