Suksesin

Suksesin is an informal Indonesian verb meaning to cause something to be successful or to ensure the success of a person, project, event, or undertaking. It is used mainly in casual conversation, online communication, and popular media, and is not typically considered formal language.

Origin and form: Suksesin is formed from the noun sukses (success) with the causative suffix -in, a productive pattern in Indonesian slang for turning nouns into transitive verbs. In standard Indonesian the corresponding form is often sukseskan, but suksesin remains common in everyday speech and informal writing.

Usage and semantics: The verb is transitive, taking as its object the thing whose success is being produced. For example, “Gue bakal suksesin acaranya” means “I will make the event a success,” and “Tim kampanye itu suksesin peluncuran produk” conveys “That campaign team will make the product launch a success.” The exact tense and aspect are usually inferred from context or additional temporal markers.

Register and context: Suksesin is widely used in marketing, entrepreneurship, and self-improvement discourse to express active involvement in achieving success. Its informal status means it is rarely used in formal reporting, journalism, or academic writing, where the standard form sukseskan or alternative phrasing would be preferred.
