About

The word 话题 is formed by combining two independent characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, composite concept. The first character, 话 (huà), means "speech" or "talk", while the second, 题 (tí), means "topic" or "subject". They are joined in a modifying relationship where "talk" (话) describes the type of "topic" (题), resulting in the integrated meaning of "a topic of conversation" or "subject for discussion".
