How to say "bravo" in Japanese

• ブラボーCommon
  interjectionThe direct borrowing, used as an exclamation of applause, especially after a performance such as opera or a concert. When you want to shout 'Bravo!' itself, this is the word.
• お見事おみごと
  interjectionCovers the praising sense, closer to 'well done!' — applauding an impressive feat or skillful performance. Less common than ブラボー and not the exclamation you shout at a concert.
