Kultureller Hintergrund
Talking is often used to resolve '눈치' (social awareness) issues. If someone is upset, you ask to '이야기를 하다' to clear the air. In many East Asian cultures, indirect communication is preferred. '이야기를 하다' is a way to gently approach a topic. In international business, '이야기를 하다' is the standard way to initiate a negotiation or a project update.
