I need your advise

Please help me see the difference between "suffer sth" and "suffer from sth"
  

Top answer

First: the noun is spelled 'advice' and the verb 'advise'. Now: 'suffer something' is used to mean 'endure, undergo, permit', as in 'suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' or 'suffer the little childen to come unto me'; it is a less common form nowadays, when we more often see 'suffer from', which usually refers to an ailment-- 'she suffers from psoriasis'. I am going to move this thead to Vocabulary, OK?
