dialoging
Having a conversation
Dialoging is the present participle of dialog, meaning to engage in conversation or discussion.
The spelling reflects the American preference for dialog over dialogue, though both forms take the -ing suffix: The two leaders spent hours dialoging about trade policy.
The word often appears in contexts emphasizing mutual exchange rather than one-sided communication.
