Thanks - I'm not particularly stressed about sounding 100% idiomatic as long as I get the point across (and am not flat out wrong). In this case I think I got the term from an Italian friend, so it might relate to some other word in italian. Also neither of temerário/temerario are common at all in Portuguese or Spanish, so I the idiomatic term the other way around, in the expression I used, should be 'imprudente' I think

I think the most idiomatic English terms to criticize someone who is incautious or too eager to take big risks spontaneously would probably be "reckless" or "rash". :-) (In English, "imprudent" refers more often to actions or decisions rather than to people.)
