1
a feeling of great joy
A very strong feeling of great joy, often because you win or succeed at something.
Модель употребления:
[someone] feels exultation at/over [something]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "exultation" with the verb "exalt" or the noun "exaltation" (meaning praise or raising something higher). "Exultation" is about feeling great joy, usually after success, and is used as a noun, not as a verb. Also, learners may try to use it in very casual speech, but it sounds more formal or literary there; in everyday conversation, "so happy" or "overjoyed" are more common.

An active, often loud way of showing great joy, like shouting, dancing, or singing after a big success.
Модель употребления:

Частая ошибка:
Learners may think "exultation" always describes a quiet, inner feeling. In this sense, it describes visible or noisy actions (shouting, dancing, singing) that show great joy. In very casual speech, people usually say things like "everyone went crazy" or "everyone cheered" instead of using this more literary noun.
