Definition
欢呼 (huān hū) means 'to cheer' — a loud, joyful shout from a crowd expressing excitement or approval. It differs from 喝彩 (hè cǎi), which often refers to applauding or acclaiming a specific performance, and from 叫好 (jiào hǎo), which is a focused shout of 'bravo!' or 'good!'. 助威 (zhù wēi) means 'to cheer for' a team or contestant to encourage them.
