Explanation
A conversation is when two or more people talk with each other, usually to share ideas, feelings, or information. Conversations can be casual, like chatting with friends, or serious, like discussing a problem. They can happen face-to-face, over the phone, or online. A good conversation involves both speaking and listening politely. It helps build relationships, share knowledge, and solve problems. In daily life, conversations make people feel connected and understood. Without conversations, communication would feel one-sided.
