Say, Tell, Talk & Speak

"Say" is used for reporting words or information; it can stand alone or take a direct object: "She said hello." "Tell" requires a personal object (who you're telling): "She told me the news." "Talk" means to have a conversation, often followed by "to" or "about": "Let's talk about it." "Speak" is more formal, used for languages and formal communication: "He speaks French." "Can I speak to the manager?"
