diálogo

noun DYAH-loh-goh Less Common

Usage Note
Diálogo carries a written accent on the first a that marks it as stressed on the antepenultimate syllable (a proparoxytone). The verb dialogar means 'to hold a dialogue/talk'. In political contexts, diálogo often implies negotiation between opposing parties; conversación is more neutral for everyday chat.
