garrulous
/ˈɡar(ʊ)ləs/adjective
Talking too much, especially about unimportant things.
Example sentences
- “The garrulous taxi driver chatted the entire way to the airport.”
- “Our garrulous neighbor can talk for an hour about his lawn.”
More cutting than 'talkative': the extra syllables imply the listener's exhaustion. Often paired with age in fiction, fairly or not: a garrulous old neighbor.
