Hanashi ni Hana ga Saku (話に花が咲く - Talk and Talk)

Hanashi ni Hana ga Saku

Have you ever had a conversation that was so fun that you talked about many things one after another?

Such a situation can be described as 'hanashi ni hana ga saku' (話に花が咲く) in Japanese.

Since 'hanashi' (話) means "talk," 'hana' (花) means "flower," and 'saku' (咲く) means "to bloom," the literal meaning of 'hanashi ni hana ga saku' is "flowers bloom on a talk."

Flowers bloom on a tree all at once in a short time, so by comparing a talk to the tree, this phrase was coined.

To mean the same thing, you can also say 'hanashi ga hazumi' (話が弾む - literally meaning "a talk bounds"), by using the word 'hazumu' (弾む - meaning "to bound").

話に花が咲く

話をするのが面白く、次から次へといろいろな話をしたことはありますか？

そのようなことを、日本語で「話に花が咲く」といいます。

「話」は "talk"、「花」が "flower"、「咲く」は "to bloom" を意味するので、「話に花が咲く」の文字どおりの意味は "flowers bloom on a talk" です。

木に咲く花は、競うように一斉に咲き誇ることから、話を木に例えて、この表現が作られました。

"To bound" を意味する「弾む」を使って「話が弾む」としても、「話に花が咲く」と同様の意味になります。
