Good question Asha...????? I don't know. I'm the wrong generation. Being brought up with a love of literature and poetry, i tend to use more "old fashioned" English,for want of a better way of putting it.
My daughter,says the most commonly used word at school for talking /speaking to people is "gassing"
Try asking Testify, she uses very "modern " language.

There are many words for talking in the English Language;
talk, chin-wag, chit-chat, have a conference, conversation, dialogue, discourse, discussion, gossip, chat , natter or chatter
You can address one another, commune, communicate, confer, converse, hold forth
idle talk, is gossip or tittle-tattle
someone who never stops talking can be said to;
babble, gabble, prattle, rabbit on, rattle on, witter ....to name but a few

Sorry i can't be of more help
