Aventurar:

(verb) to venture, to put forward; to hazard, to speculate


Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish and English sentences. Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The sentence with the most votes will be crowned the Word of the Day winner!

Guidelines:

  • Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either.
  • Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well.
  • Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary).
  • Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.)
  • Have fun experimenting with Spanish!

My examples

1: No podemos aventurar cifras.

We cannot speculate on the numbers.

2: Aventuré a decir algo.

I ventured to say something.

I think that speculating on the stock market is like gambling on racehorses. They are both ways to lose a lot of money.
