Usage Note

Acierto is the noun from acertar, meaning a right answer, a good guess, or a smart move. Fue un acierto contratar a ese diseñador ('hiring that designer was a smart move'). It pairs naturally with error as its opposite in both literal (quiz show) and figurative (life decisions) contexts. The plural aciertos is common in game-show language.

Examples

"Esa decisión fue un gran acierto."

Natural Translation

That decision was a great move.
