Conversate = for many having a conversation. However the correct term according to the so called grammatically correct is to "converse."
Someone wrote an unecessary and rude explanation stereotyping inner city individuals for use of the word conversate.
In their defense I would like to note the following:
Personally I'm caucasian and not from the inner city. I went to Princeton. Many of my colleagues, ( also not from the inner city) used the word conversate. However converse is the proper phrase which actually reminds me of the sneakers converse.
Conversate should be added to regular to end all bias. It's easy to determinewhere the word is derived from and what is mean when a person uses the term. At the end of the day a word is just a word because someone made it to mean one thing based on interpretation. New words are formed everyday which should have no reference to slang unless they have no real structure of evident meaning. Spread peace. :-)

“Conversate” is what is called a “back-formation” based on the noun "conversation.” But the standard verb usage for this sort of thing is “converse.”
It is mos def not A "word used by backwards, ignorant, illiterate inner city "trash" whatever that means-
Since it is clear that non-standard English commonly is use more frequently than standard English which for the purpose of this we will say it is commonly called "correct English" even though there is NO such thing. Even Shakespeare used non standard English which is now standard English. so anyone who says that our words are ignorant and stupid will be kicking themselves and hating when our words become standard.
study linguistics before you hate on things you don't "like" homie. smell me- keep hating.
