How do I say… in Japanese? Let’s Talk Flowers Part 2!

Since we have already begun talking about flowers, let’s try and remember the names for three more commonly found flowers!

Azalea

While there are many different versions of azalea, we’re just going to look at the most common one today!

In Japanese, we can call this type of azalea, ” azarea “.

The kanji, it’s meaning, and it’s reading in hiragana

We write the name of this flower using katakana : アザレア.

In hiragana, it would be written like : あざれあ

Daisy – Hinagiku

In Japanese, we can call a daisy, a ” hinagiku “.

The kanji, it’s meaning, and it’s reading in hiragana

We can spell ” hinagiku ” using kanji like this: 雛菊 .

These are not all that often used kanji, so it’s okay if you’re not familiar with them!

We can break down the meaning of the kanji like this:

雛 – chick (young)

菊 – chrysanthemum

We can spell ” hinagiku ” using hiragana like this: ひなぎく.

Camellia – Tsubaki

While this is a special variant of camellia, I did not have any common camellia in my camera roll, so this will have to do!

In Japanese, we can call a camellia, a ” tsubaki “.

The kanji, it’s meaning, and it’s reading in hiragana

We can spell this flower as : 椿

We can spell ” tsubaki ” using hiragana as つばき。
