exitoso

successful

adjective ehk-see-TOH-soh Less Common

Usage Note

Exitoso derives from éxito (success), not from salida (exit) — a common false-friend confusion for English speakers, since éxito looks like 'exit'. Una película exitosa is 'a successful film'. The feminine form is exitosa; the adverb is exitosamente.

Examples

"La obra de teatro fue muy exitosa."

Natural Translation

The play was very successful.
