As in to chat online. I've got a couple of terms but can't decide which is the proper one esp. for the Gulf.

Thank you in advance

دَردَشَ، دَردَشـة


Explanation:
The basic verb form (past tense, third person singular, masculine) is pronounced DARDASHA and written دَردَشَ

I assume from your profile that you know how to conjugate a quadratic verb.

The noun form is pronounced the same (with the feminine T treated as a silent letter), and written دَردَشـة
