Do these sentence mean the same thing?

¿Me quieres hablar con el? "Do you want to talk to me with him?"

¿Quieres hablar con el y conmigo? "Do you want to talk to me with him?

Necessito hablarte con el. "I need to talk to you with him" IS this right to say also?

I asked a friend of mine and he said that the first sentence is correct but it is not commonly used compared to the latter. Anyway, is it safe to use the first one? Is it understandable? Are both correct and carry the same meaning?

Also, when there are two consecutive verbs, does the last verb take the object? For example quieres hablar. Does hablar take the object "me"?

Thanks.

I would say the first one is: Do you want me to talk with him?

The second: Do you want to talk with us (him and I)?

the third: I need you to talk with him.

¿Me quieres hablar con el? "Do you want to talk to me with him?"

¿Quieres hablar con el y conmigo? "Do you want to talk to me with him?

For me these sentences are a little awkward, but your translations are correct and yet awkward in Spanish as well. For the first I would say: ¿Quieres que hablen Uds.dos conmigo? / ¿Quieres que hablemos los tres juntos?

And the second: ¿Quieres hablar conmigo estando con él? / ¿Quieres hablar conmigo mientras esté él?

Te necessito hablar con el. "I need to talk to you with him" IS this right to say also?

This is not correct. You need to say something like: Necesito hablar contigo y que esté él / Necesito hablar contigo estando en su presencía (de él) .

In your examples, me is the indirect object and it can be placed two different ways: ¿Me quieres hablar? / ¿Quieres hablarme? And also ¿Quieres hablar conmigo?

Sorry my mistake. "Necessito hablarte con el" - spuny, Jul 25, 2013
This makes no sense. If you want to say "I need you to speak with him", then "Necesito que hables con él - 005faa61, Jul 26, 2013
