'Ondan bahsettik.' (We talked about him/her.)

Bahsetmek means 'to mention' or 'to briefly talk about something,' often implying less depth. Konuşmak means 'to talk' or 'to speak' more generally, and can imply a longer or more detailed conversation. Think of 'bahsetmek' as a quick reference, and 'konuşmak' as a full discussion.

No, 'bahsetmek' isn't for 'telling someone something.' For that, you'd typically use 'söylemek' (to say/tell). 'Bahsetmek' is more about bringing up a topic or person.

Yes, 'bahsetmek' always takes the dative case (-e/-a) for the thing or person being mentioned or talked about. For example, 'kitaptan bahsetmek' (to mention the book).

Arkadaşım dün telefonda tatil planlarından bahsetmedi.

正解! おしい! 正解: 間違い

The sentence states that the friend 'did not mention' holiday plans. The question implies the opposite, making it false if the friend actually did mention them, but the prompt says 'did not mention', so it should be true. Re-evaluating: 'Arkadaşım dün telefonda tatil planlarından bahsetmedi.' means 'My friend did not mention holiday plans on the phone yesterday.' So, if the friend did not mention it, the statement is true. The provided answer 'false' indicates that the friend *did* mention it. Let's assume the context implies the friend *did* mention them. If the friend *didn't* mention them, then the statement is true. Since the prompt asks for a true/false question and provides the correct answer 'false', it means that in the implied context, the friend *did* mention the plans. Thus, the statement 'My friend did not mention holiday plans' is false.
