tada

Verbal trumpet flourish

Tada is an exclamation accompanying a reveal or flourish, announcing that something impressive or long-awaited has arrived: Tada! Your new kitchen is finished.

It mimics a trumpet fanfare and often carries playful or ironic overtones—the reveal may be genuinely impressive or deliberately anticlimactic: I finally cleaned my room. Tada!

Also spelled ta-da.
