"Laudation" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
A laudation is a formal statement of praise or commendation, often given in honor of a person or event. It can also refer to a speech or address made on such an occasion, in which the speaker extols the virtues or achievements of the person or thing being honored.
Laudate is the imperative form of the Latin verb "laudare", which means "to praise" or "to glorify". It is often used in musical contexts, such as in hymns and choral pieces, where it is sung as a solemn prayer or exhortation, particularly in the Responsorial Psalm. For example, "Laudate Dominum" means "Praise the Lord".
Praised or honorifically express admirably, e.g. "a laudatory speech about the city's mayor."
