立(た)ち話(ばなし)

ママ友(とも)同士(どうし)が道端(みちばた)で立(た)ち話(ばなし)をしています。

Mom friends are standing around talking on the side of the road. {talking while standing, standing around talking}

友人(ゆうじん)と立(た)ち話(ばなし)していたら他(ほか)の友人(ゆうじん)にバッタリ会(あ)った。

I bumped into another friend while I was standing around talking with a friend. {talking while standing, standing around talking}

家主(やぬし)：「立(た)ち話(ばなし)もなんですから、どうぞ家(いえ)に上(あ)がってください。」

Landlord: "Since we're just standing around talking, please come inside the house." {talking while standing, standing around talking}

道(みち)で立(た)ち話(ばなし)をしていたら風邪(かぜ)を引(ひ)くものと思(おも)うから、そろそろ帰(かえ)ろうか。

I think we might catch a cold if we keep standing around talking on the street, so maybe we should start heading home. {talking while standing, standing around talking}

立(た)ち話(ばなし)は落(お)ち着(つ)かないだろうと思(おも)いきや、居酒屋(いざかや)にいる時(とき)よりも話(はなし)が弾(はず)んだ。

I thought standing around talking wouldn't be relaxing, but the conversation flowed more than when we were at the bar. {talking while standing, standing around talking}
