When to use it
兴奋 (xīngfèn) is a steady excitement; anticipation, adrenaline, looking forward to something. 激动 (jīdòng) is more emotionally stirred, often with a lump in the throat. For 'thrilled,' both work, but 激动 fits better when the news hits you hard (acceptance letter, reunion), while 兴奋 fits an upcoming event (a concert, a trip). In Taiwan you'll also hear 超 level adverbs like 超興奮, which is normal across all ages online. Native tip: 兴奋 can also mean 'aroused,' so read the context.
