triumphal

adjective tree-oon-FAHL Rare

Usage Note

Triunfal is an adjective only (no feminine change — it ends in -al) and collocates strongly with arco triunfal ('triumphal arch') and entrada triunfal ('triumphal entry'). It carries a grand, ceremonial tone; for describing a person who has triumphed more casually, triunfante or victorioso are the better choices.

Examples

"El equipo hizo una entrada triunfal al estadio."

Natural Translation

The team made a triumphal entrance into the stadium.
