歌咏

• 拼音: gē yǒng
• 汉字拆解: 歌 = 哥 + 欠 (singing); 咏 = 口 (mouth) + 永 (prolonged, eternal — sustained chanting)

含义

To sing; to chant; to express through sustained vocal performance. Often used in the context of choral or group singing.

A more literary and elevated term than 唱歌. Often appears in 歌咏比赛 (choral competition) or 歌咏队 (singing troupe). The word 咏 specifically implies a sustained, melodious delivery — reminiscent of the classical tradition of chanting poetry to music.
