get chatting
start talking casually
If you get chatting with someone, you start talking to them in a friendly, informal way.
Hear it in real life
How did you meet your neighbour?
We got chatting at the school gate.
I got chatting with a woman on the train who had lived in Hanoi.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: We got chat with the people at the bus stop.
Say: We got chatting with the people at the bus stop.
After 'got' in this expression, use 'chatting', not the base verb 'chat'.
