dialogued
- 1Simple past and past participle of dialogue.
Negotiators dialogued for weeks before reaching a settlement.
The two communities have dialogued repeatedly to resolve their differences.
Note
One spelling does double duty: negotiators dialogued (simple past), and two sides have dialogued (perfect, after have). The verb can take an object in its meaning 'to put into dialogue form,' so the participle also works in the passive, as in a story dialogued for the stage. The everyday 'discuss and negotiate' use is informal. The old sense of simply conversing, a twin of dialogize, is obsolete.
