Congratulation adalah noun (kata benda) yang memiliki beberapa makna. Kata ini dapat merupakan countable atau uncountable noun.

Sebagai countable noun kata ini selalu dalam bentuk plural (jamak), yakni: congratulations. Plural noun ini bermakna “a message congratulating someone; words that congratulate someone” (pesan yang berisi ucapan selamat kepada seseorang; kata-kata yang berisi ucapan selamat kepada seseorang) untuk mengungkapkan bahwa kamu ikut berbahagia dengan keberuntungan atau kesuksesan seseorang. Kata ini biasanya diawali verb (kata kerja) offeratau send.

Selain itu, kata ini dapat pula bermakna “something that you say when you want to congratulate someone” (sesuatu yang kamu katakan ketika kamu ingin memberi selamat kepada seseorang).
