willing to try new or risky things
liking to try new or a little risky things, and not being afraid of change or the unknown
Vzorec užití:
[someone] is adventurous

involving risk or excitement
describing an activity or plan that is very exciting or a bit risky
Vzorec užití:
an adventurous [activity]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *adventurous* only for people and forget it can also describe activities or plans (e.g. *"We did an adventurous trip"* is correct). They may also overuse *dangerous* where *adventurous* is better, because *adventurous* suggests challenge and excitement, not serious danger.
Synonyma
risky (focuses more on danger and the chance of something bad happening, not just excitement)
|
exciting (general word for strong interest or emotion; does not always suggest risk or difficulty)
|
daring (emphasizes that the activity needs courage because it is brave or risky)
Antonyma
safe (describes an activity that has very little or no risk)
|
boring (describes an activity that has little excitement or interest)
|
conventional (describes an activity or plan that is very normal and not unusual or challenging)

describing style, ideas, or design that are very new, bold, and different from the usual way
Vzorec užití:
an adventurous [design/style/menu/idea]
Častá chyba:

Synonyma
innovative (focuses on being new and original, especially in a positive, practical way)
|
experimental (emphasizes testing new methods or styles that may or may not succeed)
|
bold (general word for strong, striking choices; does not always mean creative or new)

|
conservative (avoids change and prefers safe, familiar styles and ideas)
|
conventional (stays within normal, widely accepted ways of doing things)
