Vocabulary
Embark and exhilarating
How do you do?
Please make sure that I understand the usage of these words correctly.
1. Embark: to board a ship or to put.
EX. At the beginning of our Europe trip, we would embark our journey from London, England and finish at Florence, Italy.
For some reasons, "embark" seems to have the similar meaning to "start."
2. Exhilarating : to make joyous and energenic.
EX. We all went to pick John up at the airport. It was so exhilarating to him walking off from the entrance and running towards us. It has been a very long time since he left the country to do business in overseas.

Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your response
However, I have two questions for you.
1. What is in parenthesis? Why do say embark for Florence, Italy? Is it one way to shortern the sentence by omitting to say that we started from London and focus more on where we will be for our final destination?
2. What if I say "it was so exhilarating for us to see him again?" Woul

Hello,
Can we the word embark to refer for anything else other than places. For example, if I were to do a paper for my marketing class, can I say "I will embark at introduction and embark for subjective conclusion?"
OR
If I were to build a house, can I say "I will embark at looking for lots and lots of planks?"
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Generally, no, though you will see it used metaphorically occasionally, as 'to embark upon a new enterprise/project/adventure'.

What do you by "using it metaphorically?"
I have heard of metaphor before and I believe it is something that has to do writing a poem, yes?
If you say that embark can be used upon a new project, aren't building a house or writing a paper be considered as projects?

'Embark' means 'get on a barque' (a small ship). It is used metaphorically when you don't really 'get on' something. For instance, you don't 'get on' a project; you just begin doing it.
