What's in a Prague street name

Na úspěchu was built in 1934.

‘Úspěch’ is ‘success’. It can also be translated as ‘achievement’ or ‘attainment’.

And, yes, once again, the building of all the streets around here was indeed seen as an achievement. We have to assume the street namers were being positive, and not quietly considering that the work had been done ‘se střídavými úspěchy’ – with varying degrees of success.

This is the first time that I wrote one of these posts and then stopped to wonder if I’d already written it before. But – good news alert – we’ll be out of this zone after day 80.
