Verbal Communication vs Non Verbal Communication. Which one do you think matters more?

Both matter a great deal. I can, however, tell you that you can communicate far more efficiently than you might imagine using non verbal communication. There is of course sign language, but also observe a work environment where the sound level is 120 db and up. You'll likely see a very effective use of non verbal skills at work.

Verbal. All that "non-verbal communication" stuff is a load of bollocks designed to hide that fact you can read peoples' minds.

Simples...

I think both verbal and nonverbal communication are equally important…words help us express what we want to say, while our actions, facial expressions, and body language show how we’re ally feel… for me, both are needed to understand each other better and communicate effectively…

Verbal communication matters to me. I'm less likely to analyze someone's body language.

​I also enjoy talking about everything and anything, and I do prefer that type of communication.

Verbal 100%. I am not a mindreader.

[Still-alive]

both ideally, we need words to match actions. but for me i need to hear them say things if we need to seriously communicate things. so verbal at first then non verbal following it up.

Verbal is more important, i'm not telepathic.

[sage2021]

I think that it's obvious that verbal communication matters more.

I mean, can you imagine trying to communicate with someone without any verbal communication? 🤫

[Shiprex]

Verbal as long as it's not long winded whinging.

[AgentG111]

Both, at times non verbal speaks louder then verbal

[Twalli]

Nonverbal communication is 98% of all communication.

[Cidknee]

There must be dialogue.

[msc545]

You really cannot separate the two things.
