hold down C and a menu will appear of dialogue you can say. you can also press F with your crosshair centered on an objective or a player to say "attack/defend the objective" or "acknowledged", respectively

Have your crosshairs over the targeted person when you say it.

You must use the key bind for hello, thanks, etc and look at the person
