to talk with someone

To talk with someone in a polite or thoughtful way.

استعمال کا انداز: to converse with [someone] about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *conversate* instead of *converse*; *conversate* is non-standard in most varieties of English. Many also confuse *converse* (verb) with *conversation* (noun); remember that *converse* is the action, and *have a conversation* is the phrase with the noun.
