noun

der Beifall, null

taps

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

The German word "Beifall" is a noun meaning "applause" or "approval". It is made up of the words:

  • bei (by, with)
  • Fall (case, occasion)

Here, "Fall" metaphorically refers to an occasion or happening where approval is expressed.

Similar words include:

  • Applaus (applause)
  • Zustimmung (approval, agreement)
  • Bejubelung (cheering)

Difference:
"Beifall" specifically denotes audible approval like clapping, often in a public setting. "Zustimmung" is broader, referring to general approval or consent, not necessarily expressed by clapping. "Bejubelung" implies loud, enthusiastic cheering, often more exuberant than simple "Beifall".
