tumultuous
Significado: Making an uproar or loud, confused noise; excited, confused, or disorderly.
Tumultuous describes intense, noisy, and often chaotic situations. Unlike 'turbulent,' which emphasises instability over time, tumultuous often suggests a burst of energy or emotion — it can be positive (tumultuous applause) or negative (tumultuous protests). It collocates with 'applause,' 'welcome,' 'period,' 'crowd,' and 'ovation.'
