Definition
欢歌 is a formal or literary verb meaning 'to sing joyfully' — it describes the act of singing with happiness and celebration. It's often used in poetic, festive, or rhetorical contexts rather than casual conversation. You might encounter it in news headlines, song lyrics, or descriptions of celebrations. The word is not common in daily speech; for everyday 'to sing happily', you'd use 高兴地唱歌.
