Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：苏格兰或爱尔兰传统舞会/聚会、民俗音乐舞蹈活动介绍 该词通常用于非正式场合，多指带有苏格兰或爱尔兰民乐、歌舞的社交聚会；在日常交谈和文化活动介绍中比较常见，正式写作中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
同韵词：daily、gaily、Bailey、Hayley、Kaylee 都与 ceilidh 以相同的 /eɪli/ 结尾；Israeli 的重音虽在 re，但结尾也是 /reɪli/。注意拼写陷阱：ceilidh 中的 cei 不读 /siː/，与 ceiling /ˈsiːlɪŋ/ 不同，应按 /ˈkeɪli/ 读。
