Note:Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak. To talk è d'uso frequente e informale, e significa parlare in modo amichevole e comunque non ostile o distaccato; to speak è d'uso più raro e formale, e si usa per indicare il parlare con un certo distacco, in modo spesso poco amichevole o comunque tra estranei, e in alcuni casi particolari (parlare al telefono, parlare in dibattiti o conferenze, parlare le lingue, essere in grado fisicamente di parlare ecc).
