To have a conversation to converse.
Contrary to popular belief the word conversate is a real word and has had a place in the websters dictionary since 1973.
The word may in fact be older than many people who state that only white trash, illogical idiots use the word.
The word Conversate is formed through a process in etymology known as back-formation. Many literary geniuses of their time used back- formation such as but not limited to Shakespeare.
Also many common and accepted words in both English and other languages all over the world contain common words that are formed through back formation.
Many ignorant individuals could learn a thing or two by studying up on both the word conversate, and other back-formations before criticizing and making a generalization about a word and the people who choose to use it.
