shout

Shouting is making a loud noise by saying words at the top of your voice. When you shout, it's usually because you want to get someone's attention or express strong emotions like excitement, anger, or surprise.

When people are talking about shouting, they often mean that someone is speaking loudly in a public place, like on the street, in a park, or even at work. You might see someone shouting their opinions during a protest, or hear a coach yelling instructions to players from the sidelines of a sports game. In these situations, shouting is a way for people to be heard over the noise and commotion around them, or to express themselves more forcefully than they would in a quieter conversation.
