If you say "nói cho somebody", cho here is a must add on after nói (more like "to" in "talk to"), we never say "nói somebody" (as we should say "talk to somebody" instead of "talk somebody").

It's quite complicated, coz we use "nói" to cover all cases of using "talk, speak, say" in English. Here are some examples:
E
"Nói ai đó thông minh, là một lời khen tốt" = "Say someone intelligent, is a good compliment" (here used "nói somebody" right, but it's different from "talk to somebody")

"Nói trước đám đông" = "Speak in front of the crowd"

Hope this help bro

Biet roi , I haven't learn how to arrange the word to make it more meaningful .
