Hi all,
I’m out of my wits. What the word talk stands in the given sentence for?
You won’t talk me into going there.
Hi Jane 337 and nice to meet you.
In my way of thinking it’s the expression to talk smb into doing smth that is synonymous to the expression to persuade smb do smth
So
You won’t talk me into going there=You won’t persuade me to go there
Many thanks, Pamela! But can I say
You won’t convince me to go there
Thanks in advance.
No, you cannot.
To convince smb in smth(without action) but not to do smth

In AmE at least, we can convince people to do or not to do something.
