Hi. I'm German and the word for small talk is "Schwätzchen"

• DasIch 15y ago
  The word is (almost) extinct and has long been replaced with "small talk".

    Sorry but this is nonsense.
    • ido 15y ago
      Maybe it's a regional thing. I have never heard the word used in the more than 6 years I've lived in Vienna.
      • ugh 15y ago
        But surely, you must have heard someone talk of “plaudern”?
        • ido 15y ago
          Yes, that's a common word.

      Is this an example of the German directness we're all talking about here?
