1i00 think02i00 is probably not a good example of a verb that reports what someone said, and 01i00suggest02i00 has a different grammar of its own.02br

01i00report, say, declare, state, exclaim, ask, request,02i00 and other words that have to do with speaking are most likely the ones you're thinking of.02br
