Break it and people talk (3)
I believe the answer is:
ice
'break' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'it and people talk' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'people talk' becomes 'ic' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e' after 'ic' is 'ICE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ice that I've seen before include "engine" , "Precious stones" , "Constituent of 2dn" , "Reserve" , "Form of water" .)
