Hi smart

I haven't welcomed you to the forum yet, so I'll do that now. Welcome! Very Happy

As to your question, the correct sentence is "What do you want to talk about?"

After the word "want" you need either a noun or to+verb. You should not use the "ing-form" after the word to in most cases.

My extra tip for you: Because we try to write correct English here, you should also write the word you correctly. Wink

Thank you, smart! You're a very fast learner. Wink Very Happy

By the way, you also shouldn't call me "sir" because I'm not a man. You can call me Amy or Yankee ...... or ma'am, if you prefer being formal. Laughing
