Definition: Something suggested (with subsequent adposition being for)
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? Let’s break it down and make it clear. "Suggestion" means offering an idea – a thought you think might be good. Think of it like this: You see a friend looking glum, feeling blue, You might say, “Let’s go for ice cream!” - that's a suggestion, true! The part about "(with subsequent adposition being for)" is a bit fancy, and honestly, we don't need to get bogged down in all the technical details just yet. It simply means "for" or "intended for." A suggestion is for someone else to consider. It’s an idea you offer – a gentle nudge, if you will - hoping they’ll find it useful or appealing. So, let's put it simply: A suggestion is a proposed idea! Do you have any questions about that? Perhaps you can give me an example of when you might make a suggestion to someone?
