- "Pratar vi om samma sak?"

Which is which? Am I right in thinking that "talar" is typically closer to "talk" and "pratar" to "speak"?
Other than set phrases ("talking shop", "public speaking", "talk the talk", "speak a foreign language", etc.), I can't think of any differences in English.
Do you have any Swedish examples of where one would sound natural and the other wouldn't?

As you can see on top of the page, "Are we talking about the same thing?" is actually the suggested translation. It's hard to say what may have happened in your case – I know that there are glitches sometimes.
