Jollification means fun and enjoyment, especially the noisy, cheerful kind you get at a party or a celebration — people laughing, eating, maybe drinking, having a good time together. There was much jollification after the match. The word itself feels old-fashioned and a little comic, as if someone is putting on a fancy hat to say “party.” You would not text a friend “let’s have some jollification.” You might use it in a story, or as a joke, to make the fun sound grand. Younger people almost never need it; they say fun, a party, a celebration. Older writing and playful writing still like it. It is not a wild, out-of-control word by itself — it is , not a riot — though a night of jollification can of course get loud.
歡慶作樂、熱鬧的慶祝
