talkable

Open for conversation

Talkable describes someone easy to talk to—approachable, receptive, not intimidating: She seemed talkable, so I asked for directions.

The word is informal and uncommon, with chattable and approachable serving similar purposes.

Less often, talkable describes topics suitable for discussion: Is this talkable, or should we wait until we're alone?
