How to use
The masculine noun 'sukces' (success) declines regularly (genitive 'sukcesu'). To say 'achieve success', use 'odnieść sukces' (with the verb 'odnieść', not 'osiągnąć', although 'osiągnąć sukces' is also common, 'odnieść' is the primary collocation). The related adjective is 'sukcesywny' (which is a false friend: it means gradual/successive, not successful! Successful is 'udan' or 'zakończony sukcesem').
