reizvollen

Reizvoll is a German adjective meaning attractive, appealing, or enticing. It describes something that arouses interest or desire. The word derives from Reiz, meaning stimulus or lure, with the suffix -voll meaning full of, so reizvoll can be understood as “full of appeal.”

Declension and usage of reizvollen: reizvollen is the declined form used in several contexts. The base form is reizvoll. In plural or in the dative singular masculine or neuter after a definite article, the form reizvollen appears. Examples include die reizvollen Angebote (accusative plural with definite article), den reizvollen Angeboten (dative plural), and mit reizvollen Angeboten (dative plural without article). In singular contexts, you would encounter phrases like dem reizvollen Mann or dem reizvollen Haus (dative singular masculine/neuter). When used attributively without a definite article in other cases, the endings follow the strong or mixed declension pattern (for example, reizvolles Angebot, reizvolle Landschaft).

Usage notes and nuance: reizvoll carries a positive or favorable nuance, commonly used in marketing, travel writing, business, and description of places, opportunities, or objects. It is less typically applied to people, where it would suggest charm or attractiveness in a figurative sense rather than physical appearance. Synonyms include attraktiv, ansprechend, and verlockend, though reizvoll often conveys a sense of promising potential or appealing qualities.

Related forms and terms: the noun Reiz (stimulus, lure) and related adjectives such as reizend are semantically connected, but reizvoll emphasizes sustained appeal rather than fleeting charm.
