There's also: I'd really appreciate it if you could start on this as soon as possible. (That's when you don't have authority over the person and you need their help.)

What happened? Did you lose your dictionary?

If you suggest something, you have to open your mouth and talk. You mention something to someone as a possibility.
If you hope something, you don't speak. It happens inside you. You want something
