Didn't we (already) talk about that?

Person 1: Do you have time to talk about what's going to happen next week?

Person 2: Haven't we (already) talked about that? / Didn't we (already) talk about that?

Person 1: I still need to know some more things.

Person 2: OK. What do you need to know?



(Person 2 refers to a conversation they had a week ago)

How would the bold-face question sound most natural according to you?

As an American speaker of English, I accept both with or without "already", but "haven't" sounds better with "already" and is usually considered the "more correct" version. CJ
