To chat is to talk about ordinary things that are not very important. You can chat to one person or to many people. People also use this word now for parts of the Internet where we can talk with many different people at the same time. Usually, you chat on the Internet in the chat room or messaging service like AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo Messenger, or MSN Messenger.
