Quatschst

Quatschst is the second-person singular present form of the German verb quatschen. The verb means to chat informally, to talk, or to babble, and it can carry a dismissive or humorous nuance when someone is accused of talking nonsense or rambling.

Quatschen derives from Quatsch (nonsense) and is related to colloquial speech. The related noun Quatsch denotes nonsense, while the verb emphasizes ongoing speaking rather than making a point. The sense of speaking casually is common in German-speaking regions, especially in colloquial registers.

Quatschst is typically used in informal conversation. Examples: "Du quatschst wieder" (You're talking nonsense again), "Hör auf zu quatschen" (Stop chatting nonsense). It can also describe the act of fabricating stories: "Du quatschst dir etwas zusammen" (You're making something up). The tone ranges from light teasing to direct criticism, depending on context and intonation.

Grammar: Quatschen is a regular weak verb. Present: ich quatsche, du quatschst, er quatscht; past: ich quatschte, du quatschtest; perfect: ich habe gequatscht. The verb participates in common German sentence structure without separable prefixes.
