Definition
讴歌 is a formal, literary verb meaning 'to eulogize' or 'to sing the praises of' — it's used in solemn or celebratory contexts (praising heroes, achievements, or ideals), not in everyday conversation. As a separable verb (离合词), it can split: 讴了一首歌 ('sang a song of praise'). The object of praise typically follows directly or is introduced by 对.
