not according to Dictionary.com. Converse is the proper usage, although it seems that some people think that "conversate" sounds more intelligent.

There is no word in English Language as 'Conversate'.
The root word is 'Converse' (v): which means to have an informal talk involving a small group or only two.
The noun form of that word is 'CONVERSATION'
There is no need for another verb form of the same word as "converse' serves the purpose.
So, Conversate' is not only unnecessary but also awrong. There is no such word in use among all English Speaking Population.
So, better avoid using that non-existent word / expression as it would reveal one's poor knowledge of English.
English doesn't admit of such a word.

No. It's 'to converse' or 'engage in conversation.' There's no such word as 'conversate' although it does sound very much like the type of word the Americans would invent.
