Dear Mr. Torsten and colleagues,

I'm a bit confused with the form of that sentence;

"Would you like me to suggest or would you like to suggest me?"

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just as a further overview, SJ--

It takes a while to learn the peculiarities of which verbs need the preposition, and which do not:

suggest to me
recommend to me
give me
ask me
tell me
say to me
call me (= by telephone)
call to me (= shout)
answer me (= respond)
answer to me (= explain, justify)

etc.
