The person will not be able to talk. He will simply grasp the throat with his fingers. He will be trying to breath in and out heavily. You may find him getting blue, if not helped out immediately. A sharp blow on the chest wall will take out the foreign body. Alternately you can grip the person from behind and pull the abdomen to drive out the foreign body.

The object needs to be removed immediately or the body could lose oxygen and die. What should one do when choking?

The Heimlich maneuver is used to dislodge foreign objects from the airway by quickly pressing on the area a few inches above the belly button, pushing air out of the lungs quickly.
