There is no relation between "adventure" and mental problems that I am aware of.

You should really look these two words up in the dictionary look up at the top of the page. This will tell you all you need to know about the difference between them. If you still have particular difficulties understanding, come back and ask then.

Hmm...simply,I just want to distinguish what's the difference between "adventure" and "venture"@@...

Venture can be a noun: an undertaking involving risk. The explorer's venture took him into uncharted territory. Or a verb: to expose to risk. He ventured a week's wages on a bet.

Adventure is a noun: a risky undertaking promising excitement. The Adventures of Huckleburry Finn

 

[JeffJo]

The difference is the prefix 'ad-'. The two words were originally the same. "Venture" lost its prefix through aphesis.

Because of their common origin, the two words are closely related, so a careful study of the dictionary would be a good idea, to learn the difference.

Think of "venture" as "enterprise" or "project."

Hi,

Is it the same to say "The explorer's adventure ... territory?"

Besides, is it right to use either ventures and adventures in the following? Thanks in advance.

John is fond of many kinds of ventures/adventures. After climbing Mt. Ali. he'll try bungee jumping.
