The phrases "I will talk to him" and "I will talk with him" are often used interchangeably and their meanings are generally similar. However, there can be a subtle difference in certain contexts:
1. "I will talk to him": In this phrase, the speaker is indicating that they intend to speak directly or express something to the other person. It suggests a one-way communication or that the speaker has something specific to convey.
Example: "I will talk to him about the project deadline extension."
2. "I will talk with him": This phrase implies a more collaborative or interactive conversation. It suggests a two-way communication or a discussion involving both parties exchanging ideas, opinions, or resolving an issue together.
Example: "I will talk with him about our plans for the weekend."
To summarize, while the difference is generally subtle, "talk to" implies a one-sided communication, while "talk with" indicates a more interactive conversation.
