Hi Min2
Can we also say 聊聊 for 谈话?
E.g. 两 个 好 朋 友 聊 聊 了 一 整 夜
Can we say 谈天说地？
Hi,
Yes. We can say
两 个 好 朋 友 聊 了 一 整 夜。
But not 聊 聊 了 一 整 夜。
For 聊 聊, here are a few examples:
饭 后 我 们 聊 聊 (or 聊 一 聊) 。
我 想 跟 他 聊 聊 (or 聊 一 聊)。
Thanks.
I got it now. So it’s 聊 了 一 整 夜
and in other contexts, it’s either
聊 聊 (or 聊 一 聊)
I guess I can say 与两三好友聊聊近况.
It is not wrong to say
两 个 好 朋 友 谈 天 说 地 了 一 整 夜 。
I got you again.
I guess sometimes people like to use words
differently but mean the same thing such as
谈 天 说 地 了 一 整 夜 or 聊 了 一 整 夜.
Thanks again for the clarification.
