I am trying to figure this one out, must be an idiom. Does that mean he is funny?
Just translate it.
In command form..."Hay que hablar" SOMEBODY needs to talk.
Close, not not exact. Depending on the sentence, it could be more like "One should...", using a non-specific "one".
In command form..."Hay que hablar" SOMEBODY needs to talk.
"tienes que hablar" YOU have to talk.

Very true I just kinda started a topic.
Hi bratz, welcome to the forum 
I have moved your thread.

Good to see you again, bratz. I think your question would get more response in the "Vocabulary & Grammar" forum, since this one is for Greetings.

Just whenever you want to say "to speak," for example, "I want to speak in Spanish with my friends" = "Yo quiero hablar en español con mis amigos"...I think thats right.
In more general terms, Tim's reply would be when two verbs are used together (back to back), the first verb is conjugated while the 2nd one remains an infinitive. After an auxillary verb (like may, can)....puedo hablar.
Quiero que tú hables....subject change
Quiero hablar..no subject change
Another instance in Spanish for using the infinitive is as a noun (what would be the gerund or ing form in English). El hablar es...Talking is....
Just whenever you want to say "to speak," for example, "i want to speak in spanish with my freinds" = "Yo quero hablar en espanol con mi amigos"...I think thats right.
