試合に勝ったので、みんなで万歳と叫びます。shi ai ni ka tta no de mi n na de ban zai to sake bi ma su

We won the game, so everyone shouts, "Hooray!"

“Hooray” in Japanese is 万歳 (banzai).

A collective cry that marks a joyful moment as worthy of celebration.

試合に勝って、みんなで万歳と言いました。shi ai ni ka tte mi n na de ban zai to i i ma shi ta

We won the game and everyone said, "Hooray!".

合格通知が届き、家族全員で万歳と叫びます。gō kaku tsū chi ga todo ki ka zoku zen in de ban zai to sake bi ma su

The whole family shouts, "Hooray!" when the acceptance notice arrives.

Unlike the casual English cheer hooray, 万歳 (banzai) can sound ceremonial because groups often repeat it three times at formal celebrations.
