congratulate

In French, 'féliciter' is used to express praise or congratulations to someone for an achievement or special occasion. This verb can be used in both formal and informal contexts, such as congratulating a friend on a job well done or expressing happiness for someone's success. It is often followed by 'pour' which means 'for', connecting the compliment to the specific achievement, like 'féliciter quelqu'un pour son succès' (to congratulate someone for their success).
