    formal and slightly more institutional — for awards, citations, performance reviews

  • credit

    focuses on being acknowledged as the source of an achievement, not on admiration itself

  • acclaim

    loud public approval, often in arts or sports reporting; stronger than 'kudos'

反義詞

    negative judgement instead of admiration

  • blame

    credit for a bad outcome rather than a good one

kudos to + person + for + noun/-ing

earn / win / get kudos

用法筆記

Treated as singular even though it looks plural — say 'kudos is deserved', not 'kudos are deserved'. The form 'a kudo' is widely considered non-standard; avoid it in writing.

常見錯誤

Many kudos are going to the team.
A lot of kudos is going to the team.
kudos is uncountable and singular; do not use 'a kudo' or count it as plural.
I want to give a kudos to my coach.
I want to give kudos to my coach.
no indefinite article; the noun cannot be split into single units.
