Definition
荣耀 (róngyào) is an adjective meaning 'glorious, honorable', used for achievements, victories, or deeds that bring great honor. It is more formal and literary than 光荣 (guāngróng), which is the everyday word for 'glorious' in both adjective and noun uses. 荣誉 (róngyù) is a noun meaning 'honor, reputation' (e.g., 获得荣誉 'receive an honor'), not an adjective.
