When you're just starting out in Spanish, it's good to learn useful words like "éxito." This word is a noun, and it means success in English. You might use it to talk about achieving something good, like passing a test or winning a game. For example, if someone worked hard and did well, you could say they had a lot of "éxito."
When talking about something like a movie or an album being a 'hit,' in Spanish, you'd typically use 'éxito.' For example, 'La película fue un éxito de taquilla' means 'The movie was a box office hit.' It can also refer to the successful outcome of an endeavor, like 'El proyecto fue un éxito.' You might also hear it in phrases like 'tener éxito' which means 'to be successful' or 'to succeed.' So, while the primary meaning is 'success,' its usage extends to popular achievements and being successful in a general sense.
§ Understanding 'éxito' as a Noun
Alright, let's get straight to it. You know 'éxito' means success. But how do you actually *use* it? It's a masculine noun, so remember that. This means you'll typically see it with masculine articles like 'el' (the) or 'un' (a/an).
- Gender and Number
- 'Éxito' is a masculine noun. This means it takes masculine articles. For plural, it's 'éxitos'.
El éxito es el resultado de mucho trabajo.
Translation hint: The success is the result of much work.
Tuve un gran éxito con mi proyecto.
Translation hint: I had a great success with my project.
§ Common Prepositions with 'éxito'
Spanish loves prepositions, and 'éxito' is no exception. Here are the main ones you'll encounter and what they mean:
- Con éxito: This is a super common phrase, meaning 'successfully' or 'with success'. Think of it as an adverbial phrase.
- De éxito: This often translates to 'successful' when describing something, like 'a successful person' or 'a successful career'.
- Para el éxito: This means 'for success' and implies a condition or action needed to achieve it.
- Gracias al éxito: This means 'thanks to the success' and indicates the cause of something good.
Terminamos el trabajo con éxito.
Translation hint: We finished the work successfully (with success).
Es una persona de éxito en su campo.
Translation hint: He/She is a successful person in his/her field.
Necesitamos más esfuerzo para el éxito.
Translation hint: We need more effort for success.
Gané el premio gracias al éxito del equipo.
Translation hint: I won the prize thanks to the team's success.
§ Verbs that go with 'éxito'
You'll often see 'éxito' paired with certain verbs. Here are a few to get you started:
- Tener éxito: To have success, or to be successful. This is probably the most common way to say 'to succeed'.
- Alcanzar el éxito: To reach success, or to achieve success.
- Lograr el éxito: To achieve success. Similar to 'alcanzar'.
- Augurar éxito: To predict success.
Espero que tengas éxito en tu examen.
Translation hint: I hope you have success (succeed) on your exam.
Ella quiere alcanzar el éxito en su carrera.
Translation hint: She wants to reach success (succeed) in her career.
§ 'Éxito' in Different Contexts
Sometimes 'éxito' isn't just about a big achievement. It can be used in more everyday ways too.
- Everyday Use
- 'Éxito' can refer to a hit song, a successful movie, or even just a positive outcome in a small situation.
Esa canción fue un gran éxito el año pasado.
Translation hint: That song was a big hit (success) last year.
La película tuvo mucho éxito en taquilla.
Translation hint: The movie had a lot of success at the box office.
Keep practicing these phrases, and you'll be using 'éxito' like a native in no time. Remember, consistency is key to success in language learning!
§ Don't confuse 'éxito' with 'exit'
This is probably the most common mistake English speakers make. Even though 'éxito' looks and sounds a bit like 'exit,' they mean completely different things. 'Éxito' means success, while 'exit' in English means a way out. The Spanish word for 'exit' is 'salida'.
La salida está por allá. (The exit is over there.)
§ Using 'éxito' as a verb
In English, we can say 'to succeed.' In Spanish, 'éxito' is a noun, meaning 'success.' You cannot use 'éxito' as a verb. To say 'to succeed,' you need to use a verb like 'tener éxito' (to have success) or 'lograr' (to achieve).
Quiero tener éxito en mis estudios. (I want to succeed in my studies.)
Ella logró sus metas. (She achieved her goals/succeeded in her goals.)
You would *not* say 'Yo éxito' to mean 'I succeed.' That's incorrect.
§ Using the wrong article
'Éxito' is a masculine noun. This means it always takes masculine articles. Often, beginners forget this and use 'la' instead of 'el' or 'un' instead of 'un'.
- Correct:
- El éxito es el resultado del trabajo duro. (Success is the result of hard work.)
- Incorrect:
- La éxito es el resultado del trabajo duro. (This is wrong because 'éxito' is masculine.)
§ Using 'exitosa' for the noun 'success'
'Exitosa' (or 'exitoso' for masculine) is an adjective, meaning 'successful.' It describes a person or thing. It is not the noun 'success.' You would use 'éxito' for the noun.
Éxito (noun): Success
Exitoso/Exitosa (adjective): Successful
Fue una presentación muy exitosa. (It was a very successful presentation.)
Su éxito es admirable. (His success is admirable.)
You wouldn't say 'Su exitosa es admirable' if you mean 'His success is admirable.'
趣味小知识
The English word 'exit' shares the same Latin root as 'éxito'. While 'exit' in English primarily means a way out, in Spanish, 'éxito' evolved to specifically mean a successful outcome or achievement, rather than a physical departure. This semantic shift highlights how related words can diverge in meaning across languages over time, offering a glimpse into the linguistic journey of words.

Nouns in Spanish have a gender (masculine or feminine). 'Éxito' is a masculine noun, so it takes masculine articles and adjectives (e.g., 'el éxito', 'un gran éxito').
El éxito de la empresa fue sorprendente. (The success of the company was surprising.)
To express 'to be successful' or 'to succeed', you often use the verb 'tener' (to have) with 'éxito'. For example, 'tener éxito' means 'to have success'.
Espero tener éxito en mi carrera. (I hope to have success in my career.)
When talking about success in a specific area or activity, you can use the preposition 'en' (in/on) after 'éxito'.
Tuvo mucho éxito en la música. (He had a lot of success in music.)
The plural of 'éxito' is 'éxitos'.
Han tenido muchos éxitos este año. (They have had many successes this year.)
Avoid directly translating 'successful' as an adjective in English. Instead, use phrases like 'con éxito' (with success) or 'exitoso/a' (successful, which is an adjective). 'Éxito' itself is a noun.
Fue una presentación con mucho éxito. (It was a very successful presentation.) / Fue una presentación exitosa. (It was a successful presentation.)

10 个问题The most common way to say 'success' in Spanish is éxito. It's a masculine noun, so you'd say 'el éxito'.
You can use éxito like this:
- 'Le deseo mucho éxito.' (I wish you much success.)
- 'Su negocio fue un éxito.' (His business was a success.)
While éxito is the most common, you might sometimes hear 'logro' (achievement) or 'triunfo' (triumph), but éxito is your go-to for general 'success'.
To talk about achieving success, you can use verbs like 'tener éxito' (to have success) or 'lograr el éxito' (to achieve success). For example, 'Ella tuvo mucho éxito.' (She had a lot of success.)
Its primary meaning is 'success.' In some very specific contexts, it can refer to a good outcome, but stick with 'success' for now. It doesn't have drastically different meanings like some English words.

The opposite of éxito is 'fracaso' (failure). For example, 'Su intento fue un fracaso.' (His attempt was a failure.)
To say 'successful,' you use the adjective 'exitoso' (masculine) or 'exitosa' (feminine). For example, 'Fue una persona muy exitosa.' (He/She was a very successful person.)
