"Han har aldrig talt med min søster."

Translation: He has never spoken with my sister.

[_gah]

why isn't 'talked with' accepted?

[sumuenkeli]

I think 'spoken to' should also be accepted, since the meaning is Kind of the same. There is no actuall difference between talking with someone and talking to someone, is there? If I'm wrong, please correct me.

It's subtle but talking to means only the first person talks while talking with means both people speak.

[sumuenkeli]

Oh, okay, thanks! I didn't know that

[joelmagoun]

Would "he had never spoken with my sister" work for this?

[sumuenkeli]

That would be 'Han havde aldrig talt med min søster' :)

Why not "talked to"

[sumuenkeli]

It's explained a bit further up in this discussion :)

[niscate]

No, I mean why not "talked" instead of "spoken"? I don't see where this is explained. :)

[sumuenkeli]

I guess it's just a matter of personal preference. I'm not sure though :)

[niscate]

Can someone confirm this? I was asking because "talked to" was not accepted.

'Talked with' also isn't accepted :(
