suggest
//səˈdʒest//
Translation
önermek
Definition
The verb 'suggest' means to put forward an idea, plan, or possibility for someone to consider. It is often used in everyday conversations, professional settings, and written communication to propose something without imposing it. Unlike 'recommend,' which implies a stronger endorsement, 'suggest' is softer and leaves room for the listener to decide. For example, you might suggest a restaurant to a friend or suggest a solution to a problem at work. This word is versatile and commonly used in both formal and informal contexts.
