conversationally

/ˌkɑnvɝˈseɪʃənəɫli/ adv

In a conversational manner

Word Origin Conversation comes from Latin conversari, from con- 'together' + versari 'to turn, move about' — so it's literally 'turning about together,' a back-and-forth exchange. The root vertere 'to turn' also gives us convert, reverse, and introvert. Conversationally means 'in a manner of informal turning-together talk.'
