a feeling of intense joy
A very strong feeling of great joy and happiness, sometimes with a high or spiritual feeling.
Модель употребления:
a feeling of exaltation at [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "exaltation" with the similar-looking word "exaggeration" (making something seem bigger than it is). Another common confusion is between "exaltation" and "exultation"; both relate to joy, but "exultation" usually focuses more on the outward expression of joy, while "exaltation" can be a more inward, often spiritual or elevated feeling.

|
