gejubelt

Gejubelt is the past participle of the German verb jubeln, meaning to cheer or rejoice loudly, often in public or in response to a victory or successful outcome. In standard German, gejubelt is used with the auxiliary haben to form the Perfekt (present perfect), as in Wir haben gejubelt or Die Fans haben gejubelt. The construction typically emphasizes a completed act of cheering rather than an ongoing action.

Morphology and grammar: jubeln is a regular (weak) verb. The past participle is gejubelt, formed with the prefix ge- and the suffix -t attached to the stem jubel-. This allows the usual perfect tense forms: ich habe gejubelt, du hast gejubelt, er/sie/es hat gejubelt, wir haben gejubelt, etc. The simple past is jubelte (ich jubelte, sie jubelten), while the past participle remains gejubelt.

Usage and nuance: gejubelt conveys spontaneous or collective expression of joy, typically occurring in contexts such as sports, concerts, political events, or celebrations. It focuses on the act of cheering itself. The noun form related to the scene is Jubel, meaning loud, public rejoicing or cheering.

Examples:

- Die Fans haben gejubelt, als der Treffer fiel.

- Nach dem Sieg hat die Mannschaft gejubelt.

Relation to related terms: Jubeln as verb is the action; Jubel is the corresponding noun referring to the cheering or the atmosphere created by it. Gejubelt is the past participle form used in perfect constructions and, less commonly, in adjectival or participial clauses.
