"Hangi konuda konuşalım?"

Translation: What shall we talk about?

[InnaSepp]

I'm confused about "konuda". I don't see "topic" or "subject" in the english translation. Is the phrase a estandarized one that gets translated into "what shall we talk about", leaving out the word "topic"?

[JeremyWyat1]

As the answer is “What shall we talk about?” then couldn’t this be translated as “Ne konuşalım?” in Turkish?

[el_kousy]

where is the word konuda in this translation

[leicaMirror]

"Which should we ..." sounds awkward. Shouldn't it be "what should we..." ?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Both sound fine to me. I will add "what" as an alternative right now.

[gerbil67]

it could mean there is a choice of topics to talk about?

[hadi949]

Yes, it is like saying: "About which subject we shall talk ?"

[AlexinNotTurkey]

This is not correct English :) "About which subject shall we talk?" is though :)

[gerbil67]

"about whıch subject shall we talk" is very convoluted. better to say "which subject shall we talk about?" is far more fluent.

Stating "Which" Would suggest you already know what specıfıc choices you have to continue the conversation... Whereas "WHAT" makes the statement open to general debate.

So can you generalise the sentence with "Ne konunda konuşalım?" or does "hangi" in this instance mean both

[Hasenwinkel50]

But this sentence (which subject shall we talk about) was marked wrong - why?
