succesrijke

Succesrijke is a Dutch adjective meaning "successful" or "rich in success." It describes nouns that have achieved notable or multiple successes, such as people, projects, campaigns, or periods. The term is widely understood in Dutch, but it is somewhat more formal or emphatic than the more common adjective succesvol, and is often found in written language, business reporting, or promotional contexts.

Originating from the noun succes (success) and the suffix -rijk meaning "rich in" or "full of," succesrijke is inflected to agree with the noun it modifies. Common uses include phrases like een succesrijke campagne, een succesrijke onderneming, or succesrijke jaren. In plural form you may encounter succesrijke campagnes or succesrijke perioden, depending on the noun.

Usage notes distinguish succesrijke from succesvol. Succesrijk often describes a state of success in general terms, while succesrijke tends to convey a more evaluative or narrative sense of a sustained or multi-faceted success. In everyday language, succesvol remains more frequent; succesrijke appears more in formal, journalistic, or promotional writing when the description emphasizes the quality or breadth of success.
