Goldene Regel
Avoid literal translations
Do not translate 'venture into' word-for-word as 'unternehmen in'—this is incorrect. Use 'sich wagen in' or 'wagen' with the appropriate prepositional phrase.
Wortursprung
From Middle English 'aventuren' (to risk, to dare), from Old French 'aventurer', from Vulgar Latin '*adventurare', derived from Latin 'adventurus' (about to happen), future participle of 'advenire' (to happen). The 'into' preposition was added later to specify direction.
Verwendungshinweise
Common in both formal and informal contexts. Often used in business, creative fields, or personal development to describe taking a risk. The phrase implies active engagement rather than passive observation.
