uspeh

Uspeh is a term used in several Slavic languages to mean "success" or "achievement." It functions as a noun and is used to denote favorable outcomes in education, work, sports, or personal endeavors.

Etymology and cognates: It derives from a common Slavic root related to the verb "to succeed" and has cognates across Slavic languages: Russian uspékh, Bulgarian uspekh, Czech úspěch, Slovak úspech, Slovenian uspeh, and Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian uspeh. In languages that use Latin scripts, it appears as uspeh; in Cyrillic-script varieties it is written as успех.

Usage and morphology: The word is masculine in many languages and declines for number and case (e.g., singular "uspeh" vs plural "uspehi" in Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian; Bulgarian uses "успехи" for the plural). It commonly appears in sentences describing outcomes, achievements, or milestones. Example: "Postigli su veliki uspeh." (They achieved great success.)

In addition to its lexical meaning, "uspeh" appears in titles, slogans, and as a personal or organizational name in some regions. It is one of several widely used terms for success across Slavic languages, with similar forms in neighboring languages.
