But I think you get the idea of small talk lol
It's just a hi and bye thing. Or a quick chat about nothing too important like weather or something.

[Antimage]

I never understood why some people complain about small talk.

[Ülev]

e?

[Norka]

I don't get it either, what is the point of it.

It's just a hi and bye thing. Or a quick chat about nothing too important like weather or something. ok, for what you're doing small talks?

[UkrainianGirl]

ok, for what you're doing small talks?

Your English never ceases to amaze me. OK let me think Ukrainian/russian here to find out your question ... So you want to know why we do small talks? I think that's your question.

OK well it's a nice thing sometimes like say you are at the store for example or at school and you see someone you know and let's say you don't have time talk to them because you need to go somewhere and don't have time to talk but you don't want to be rude and ignore them so you do a quick small talk instead and then leave. So let's say you're going to class and you see another teacher you like walking passed you well you might say "Hi, I miss being in your class. You were a great teacher. OK bye have to go to class".

Lol

I refer to small talk as 'pointless woman talk.' It's talk for the sake of talking. If there is no purpose to a conversation, then it's not worth talking.

A confined chat in a quiet manner giving by a man/woman of small stature.


Or the awkward feeling that you want to tell someone that you have to go, but are trapped. That is small chat. Trapped in a chat about work, about life, about anything that fills the gap.

Yes just greet them to be nice still before going away lol
Me: Добрий день Лисий. Як справи?
You: На даний момент добре.
Me: Це добре. Ти вчишся про невелику розмову?
You: Ні, ти вчиш погано.
Me: Вибачте.Тепер я йду дyдому. Побачимося трохи пізніше.
