Difference between please

HI There,

Can someone tell me what is the difference between them please?

I really can't find the difference in my dictionary, maybe too subtle?


"I can't stand/bear/tolerate the cold weather"

"I can't stand/bear/tolerate you anymore"


Many Thanks

Yes. The difference is subtle. "stand" is a stronger feeling than either "bear" or "tolerate". And "tolerate" is a more formal or literary word than either "stand" or "bear". "stand" is the least formal of the three.
