뜻

불티; (비유) 영감의 불꽃

火花 literally means 'fire flower' and refers to sparks from fire, grinding, or electrical contact. Figuratively, it describes a flash of inspiration (灵感的火花), the spark between two people romantically or intellectually (碰撞出火花), or the creative energy of a collaboration. Common in both literal contexts (welding, fireworks, electrical sparks) and rich figurative usage in literature and everyday speech.
