reizvolle

Reizvolle is a German adjective meaning attractive, enticing, or appealing. It describes things that provoke interest, admiration, or desire, such as landscapes, opportunities, products, or people. The word derives from Reiz, meaning stimulus or lure, with the suffix -voll indicating abundance or fullness of the quality.

In usage, reizvoll conveys a positive appraisal with a sense of allure, sometimes implying temptation or seduction. It is commonly used in everyday speech and in promotional language, e.g., ein reizvolles Angebot (an attractive offer), eine reizvolle Aussicht (a captivating view). The nuance can vary with context and can carry mild hedges about practicality or consequences.

Grammatical notes: reizvoll is the base form; reizvolle is the attributive form used before nouns (for example, reizvolle Landschaft, reizvolles Angebot, reizvoller Mann). The predicative form is reizvoll: Das Angebot ist reizvoll. The form adapts to gender, number, and case in German.

Related terms include reizend, which can carry a softer meaning of charming or endearing, and the noun Reiz, meaning stimulus or lure. Reizvolle is commonly employed in descriptions of aesthetics, marketing, travel writing, and literary criticism to signal desirable or alluring qualities without implying negative connotations.
