Can any one explain it?

Talking means =an exchange of ideas via conversation. we used normally talking for human beings.

Ahmed said:   1 decade ago
But discussing also mean exchange of idea or view.

How we can conclude that, they are talking not discussing.

In simple words it is easy to understand an exchange of ideas via conversation is known as talking.

How saying and telling can be differentiated?

Here 'I' is listening. Means a person listens when someone talks.

@Shams.

Even a person can listen if somebody says or tell something.

Why not "discussing" ?

@Nikhil.

We should not use "About" immediately after "discussing". So, it is not the answer.

@Sriranjan.

You are right that we should not use about immediately after discussing but why not rest of the words. i.e. saying and telling.
