交谈
When you want to say 'to talk' or 'to converse' in Chinese, a common and useful verb is 交谈 (jiāotán). It means to have a conversation, often with some back-and-forth. You can use it in situations where people are talking with each other, like friends chatting or colleagues discussing something. It’s a good word to know for everyday communication.
When using 交谈 (jiāotán), it implies a back-and-forth exchange of words, a conversation between two or more people. It's more formal than simply 'saying something' (说 shuō) and suggests an interaction with a purpose, even if that purpose is just casual chatting. You wouldn't use 交谈 to describe a monologue or someone talking to themselves. It always involves at least two active participants.

- "交谈" (jiāotán) means 'to converse' or 'to chat.'
- It implies a two-way spoken interaction.
- Use it when people are talking with each other.
§ Don't Confuse with "聊天" (liáotiān)
Many learners get tangled up when choosing between 交谈 (jiāotán) and 聊天 (liáotiān). Both mean 'to chat' or 'to talk,' but they have different flavors. Think of it like this:
- 交谈 (jiāotán)
- More formal, often implies a discussion or conversation with a purpose. It's about exchanging thoughts or information.
- 聊天 (liáotiān)
- More casual, like a friendly chat or gossiping. It's often just for fun or passing time, without a specific agenda.
Here’s an example to show the difference:
他们正在认真交谈工作问题。(Tāmen zhèngzài rènzhēn jiāotán gōngzuò wèntí.) - They are seriously discussing work problems.
我们喜欢下班后聊天。(Wǒmen xǐhuān xiàbān hòu liáotiān.) - We like to chat after work.
§ Using "和...交谈" (hé... jiāotán) vs. "跟...交谈" (gēn... jiāotán)
Both 和 (hé) and 跟 (gēn) mean 'with' when indicating who you're talking to. For 交谈, they are largely interchangeable in modern Chinese. However, there's a subtle nuance:
- 和 (hé) can sometimes feel a touch more formal or literary.
- 跟 (gēn) is very common in spoken Chinese and can feel a bit more natural for everyday use.
The mistake isn't necessarily using one over the other, but sometimes forgetting to include either particle entirely, leading to an awkward sentence structure. You need something to connect 'who' with '交谈'.
我和老师交谈了很久。(Wǒ hé lǎoshī jiāotán le hěnjiǔ.) - I conversed with the teacher for a long time.
她喜欢跟陌生人交谈。(Tā xǐhuān gēn mòshēngrén jiāotán.) - She likes to talk with strangers.
§ Using "交谈" with Objects
交谈 (jiāotán) is an intransitive verb in many contexts, meaning it doesn't directly take an object in the same way an English verb like 'discuss' might. You don't '交谈 a topic' directly. Instead, you '交谈 about a topic' (关于 guānyú) or 'discuss a topic' (讨论 tǎolùn). If you try to put a direct object right after 交谈, it often sounds unnatural or grammatically incorrect.
错误 (Cuòwù - Incorrect): 他们交谈了政治。(Tāmen jiāotán le zhèngzhì.)
正确 (Zhèngquè - Correct): 他们交谈了关于政治的问题。(Tāmen jiāotán le guānyú zhèngzhì de wèntí.) - They conversed about political issues.
正确 (Zhèngquè - Correct): 他们讨论了政治。(Tāmen tǎolùn le zhèngzhì.) - They discussed politics.
§ Overusing "交谈"
Sometimes learners overuse 交谈 because it seems like a direct translation of 'to talk' or 'to converse'. However, as discussed earlier, 聊天 (liáotiān) is often a more appropriate choice for casual interactions. Using 交谈 in very informal settings might sound a bit stiff or overly formal.
错误 (Cuòwù - Incorrect for casual context): 嘿，我们去交谈吧！(Hēi, wǒmen qù jiāotán ba!) - Hey, let's go converse!
正确 (Zhèngquè - Correct for casual context): 嘿，我们去聊天吧！(Hēi, wǒmen qù liáotiān ba!) - Hey, let's go chat!
How Formal Is It?
"老师和学生们就学习方法进行了深入的交谈。(The teacher and students had an in-depth conversation about study methods.)"
"我们晚上经常在网上聊天。(We often chat online in the evenings.)"
"几个老朋友聚在一起，天南海北地侃大山。(A few old friends got together and chatted about everything under the sun.)"
"小明喜欢和他的玩具熊说话。(Xiao Ming likes to talk to his teddy bear.)"
"没事儿的时候，邻居们喜欢聚在一起唠嗑。(When there's nothing to do, neighbors like to get together and shoot the breeze.)"

formalFacile à confondre
Often confused with other words that mean 'to talk' or 'to speak'.
交谈 specifically implies a two-way conversation or chat, a mutual exchange of words. It's more about the interaction than just one person speaking.
他们正在愉快地交谈。 (Tāmen zhèngzài yúkuài de jiāotán.) - They are happily conversing.
This is a very general term for 'to speak' or 'to talk'.
说话 is broader. It can be one-sided (like giving a speech) or two-sided. It doesn't necessarily imply a back-and-forth conversation like 交谈 does.
请你说话大声一点。 (Qǐng nǐ shuōhuà dàshēng yīdiǎn.) - Please speak a little louder.
Seems very similar to 交谈, both mean 'to chat'.
聊天 often implies a more casual, informal, and often prolonged chat without a specific purpose or serious topic. While 交谈 can also be casual, it can also be more focused or slightly more formal than 聊天.
我们周末喜欢在一起聊天。 (Wǒmen zhōumò xǐhuan zài yīqǐ liáotiān.) - We like to chat together on weekends.
Also means 'to talk' or 'to converse'.
谈话 often suggests a more structured or serious conversation, sometimes with a specific topic or purpose (e.g., an interview, a negotiation). It can be more formal than 交谈.
经理想和你谈话。 (Jīnglǐ xiǎng hé nǐ tánhuà.) - The manager wants to talk with you.
Involves talking, so easily mixed up.
讨论 specifically means 'to discuss'. It's about exchanging ideas or opinions on a particular subject to reach a conclusion or understanding. It's a type of conversation with a clear goal.
我们正在讨论新项目的计划。 (Wǒmen zhèngzài tǎolùn xīn xiàngmù de jìhuà.) - We are discussing the plan for the new project.
Comment l'utiliser
Use 交谈 (jiāotán) to describe a two-way exchange of words, like a conversation or chat. It emphasizes interaction and can be used for both formal and informal situations. For example:
- 他们正在交谈。(Tāmen zhèngzài jiāotán.) - They are conversing.
- 我喜欢和朋友交谈。(Wǒ xǐhuān hé péngyǒu jiāotán.) - I like to chat with friends.
- 我们交谈了很久。(Wǒmen jiāotán le hěn jiǔ.) - We talked for a long time.
Mistake 1: Confusing with 说话 (shuōhuà). While both involve speaking, 说话 (shuōhuà) is more general and can mean simply 'to speak' or 'to talk' without necessarily implying a back-and-forth conversation. 交谈 (jiāotán) specifically means 'to converse' or 'to chat'.
Example of incorrect usage: 我和老师说话了一个小时。(Wǒ hé lǎoshī shuōhuà le yī gè xiǎoshí.) - This is grammatically okay but sounds a bit stiff. It's better to say: 我和老师交谈了一个小时。(Wǒ hé lǎoshī jiāotán le yī gè xiǎoshí.) - I conversed with the teacher for an hour.
Mistake 2: Using it for one-sided speaking. 交谈 (jiāotán) implies interaction. If someone is giving a speech or lecturing, you wouldn't use 交谈 (jiāotán).
Example of incorrect usage: 老师在课堂上交谈。(Lǎoshī zài kètáng shàng jiāotán.) - The teacher is conversing in class. This is wrong if the teacher is lecturing. You would say: 老师在课堂上讲话。(Lǎoshī zài kètáng shàng jiǎnghuà.) - The teacher is speaking in class.
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
Think of '交 (jiāo)' as 'cross' or 'intersect' (like people crossing paths to talk) and '谈 (tán)' as 'talk.' So, when paths 'cross' and people 'talk,' they are 'conversing.'
Association visuelle
Imagine two people standing at a crossroads, animatedly talking and gesturing. One person is wearing a shirt with '交' on it, and the other has a speech bubble with '谈' coming out of it. They are actively '交谈' (conversing).

Try to use 交谈 (jiāotán) in a sentence about your day. For example: '今天我和同事交谈了工作。' (Today I conversed with my colleague about work.)
Origine du mot
The character '交' (jiāo) means 'to cross, to intersect, to hand over'. The character '谈' (tán) means 'to talk, to chat, to discuss'.

Questions fréquentes
10 questionsBoth 交谈 (jiāotán) and 聊天 (liáotiān) mean to talk, but 聊天 (liáotiān) is generally more casual and implies a relaxed, informal chat. 交谈 (jiāotán) can be a bit more formal or denote a more purposeful conversation, though it's still about talking with each other. Think of 聊天 as 'to chat' and 交谈 as 'to converse'.
Yes, you can. While it doesn't always imply seriousness, 交谈 (jiāotán) can certainly be used for serious discussions or conversations where you're exchanging ideas or information with purpose. For example, 老师和学生在交谈学习计划 (Lǎoshī hé xuéshēng zài jiāotán xuéxí jìhuà) - The teacher and student are discussing their study plan.
交谈 (jiāotán) implies interaction, so it can be between two people or a small group. If it's a large group or a public speech, you'd use different words. The core idea is a back-and-forth exchange.
You can use the structure '跟 (gēn) someone 交谈 (jiāotán)'. For instance, 我想跟他交谈 (Wǒ xiǎng gēn tā jiāotán) - I want to talk with him.
You can simply say 他们在交谈 (Tāmen zài jiāotán) - They are conversing. It's a perfectly natural way to express it.
Yes, 交谈 (jiāotán) can be used for phone calls, but '打电话 (dǎ diànhuà)' (to make a phone call) or '通话 (tōnghuà)' (to talk on the phone) are more common for the act of calling itself. You could say 他们在电话里交谈 (Tāmen zài diànhuà lǐ jiāotán) - They are conversing on the phone.
Yes, 交谈 (jiāotán) can also function as a noun, meaning 'conversation' or 'talk'. For example, 一次愉快的交谈 (yícì yúkuài de jiāotán) - a pleasant conversation.
讲话 (jiǎnghuà) means 'to speak' or 'to talk' and can be more general. It doesn't necessarily imply a back-and-forth. 交谈 (jiāotán) specifically emphasizes the mutual exchange in a conversation. So, 交谈 is more specific to the act of conversing than 讲话.
No, 交谈 (jiāotán) specifically implies talking with each other. If you're talking to yourself, you'd use '自言自语 (zì yán zì yǔ)'.
A common mistake is trying to use it like 'tell' or 'say'. Remember, 交谈 (jiāotán) is about the act of conversing mutually. You wouldn't say '我交谈了一个故事' (Wǒ jiāotán le yī gè gùshì) - 'I conversed a story'. You would say '我讲了一个故事' (Wǒ jiǎng le yī gè gùshì) - 'I told a story'.
