noun

der Beifall, null

pljesak

Das ist, wenn viele Menschen gemeinsam klatschen, um zu zeigen, dass ihnen etwas gefällt.

The German word "Beifall" is a noun meaning "applause" or "acclaim".

It is composed of "bei" (by/with) and "Fall" (fall/case). However, in this compound, "Fall" is used in a more abstract sense related to occurrence or event — together implying an expression of approval that accompanies (falls with) a performance.

"Beifall" specifically refers to audible showing of approval, mainly clapping.
"Zustimmung" is broader, meaning agreement or consent, not necessarily expressed audibly.
"Applaus" is almost synonymous but slightly more formal or borrowed from English.
"Bekräftigung" is more formal, often legal or official confirmation rather than spontaneous approval.
