Liking to talk a lot; talkative and friendly in conversation.
From 'chat' (casual conversation), derived from Old French 'chate' meaning 'chatter.' The '-y' suffix converts it to an adjective describing someone's tendency to chat.
Research shows that chatty people aren't just more social—they often have larger vocabulary sizes and better memory because talking forces your brain to organize and retrieve information more actively!
'Chatty' carries implicit feminization and dismissal; historically used to trivialize women's communication as gossip rather than legitimate talk (see gendered language around 'talkative' vs 'chatty').
Prefer 'conversational,' 'engaging,' or 'verbose' depending on context. 'Chatty' in describing AI risks perpetuating gendered tropes about verbosity.
