How it's used
Focuses on the intensity of a group atmosphere or collective response rather than individual personality traits. It is frequently paired with nouns related to public events or social gatherings, such as applause or debate. Unlike English terms for enthusiasm, it carries a sense of collective energy that fills a space.
Examples
They gave the new colleague a warm welcome.
Everyone is having a very enthusiastic discussion.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe an individual's personality, as it sounds unnatural to say someone is a热烈 person; use 熱情 instead for personal warmth or friendliness.
