Morphology

talkee = talk (transparent) = talk + ee

Formed transparently from 'talk' with an informal suffix '-ee' to name a person who talks; the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Talkee is a playful form of talk with the small ending -ee that turns an action into a person. So a talkee is someone who 'talks a lot', often in a funny or chatty way.
