There was no translation for me, I assume as I'm not a paying user.

Hi Darren,

"reden" is comparable to "to talk" and "sprechen"

would translate to "to speak", and the meaning and how these two words

relate to each other is more or less the same as in English, too.

"sich unterhalten" has a slightly more personal touch. When you say:

"Zwei Menschen sprechen miteinander.", it could be about work or private/intimate matters.

"Zwei Menschen unterhalten sich.": Here the topic is more likely a personal one.

With your last question, I am not sure if I do understand right because your spelling is a little off.

In case you are referring to the words "erfahren" and "können", erfahren is "to learn" in the context above,

"können" on the other hand means "to be able to".

Thank you.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,

And how is erhfalen different from konnen?

Also unterhalten seems to be a synonym?

Any nuisances of this word?

Are reden and sprechen exactly synonyms or are they used under different circumstances?
