Many English speakers incorrectly translate the Spanish word suceso as 'success'.
Suceso looks like the word success in English but it is a false friend. This means that the words appear similar in both languages but they both have a different meaning.
Suceso is a noun that means event or happening.
If you want to say the word success in Spanish, you have to use the word Éxito.
Be careful - Éxito doesn't mean Exit.
