[General] to talk vs to go talk

[kompstar]

What's the differnce between 'to talk' and 'to go talk'?

For example:
1. You're gonna go talk to your folks?
2. Your're gonna talk to your folks? (This sentence I created by myself).

In Polish We don't say 'You're gonna go talk to your folks?', so I'd like to understand the difference between the two sentences.

Adding "go" suggests that it's a fairly immediate plan. Perhaps the other person is just about to go and telephone their parents, or visit their house to talk to them.

Please don't use non-standard abbreviations on the forum - "gonna" is not a word in English. It's "going to". Also, the grammatically correct way to formulate a question is "Are you going to go [go to/and] talk to your folks?"

'Are you going to go talk to your folks' is not grammatically correct in the English wot I speaks.

Nor in my variant but it's OK in AmE.

Gonna go talk is not that standard, but it is found in more than one variant. I struggle a bit when I hear I'm gonna go toilet in the UK, but it is used.

grammatically

Your spelling lets you down.That's how a dictionary would spell it.

I'm not sure If I understand well. Do all of my sentences below correct and mean the same? I think they do. Am I wrong?

1. Are you going to go talk to your folks?
2. Are you going to go to talk to your folks?
3. Are you going to go and talk to your folks?

 

[emsr2d2]

Yes.

Your sentences are correct, but your question isn't. ;-)

Your sentences are correct, but your question isn't. ;-)

How should I have asked the question? :-D

Are all of my sentences below correct and do they mean the same thing?

Kompstar, you can tell whether a question is correct by changing it into a statement:

Are all of my sentences correct? My sentences are all correct.
Do they mean the same thing? They do​ mean the same thing.
