Danish term or phrase: forslag til processen
Jeg er gået helt i selvsving i en korrektur:
suggestions to the process / for / of / to ??

Måske er det 'suggestions' der ikke er så godt?
Er der hjælp at hente?

suggestion TO the process


Explanation:
Example: I will make a suggestion to you to go see a doctor, or I suggest to you to go see a doctor.

Think of it this way; it's the same as "to object" as in "I object to your coming". :-)

For and of are not used in conjunction with "suggestions".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your entry, but I don't quite agree with you. It was the 'to' that bothered me, as 'to' would be to 'someone', whereas i needed an agenda/ a suggestion/ etc. and if you google suggestion to /for / of + agenda, you will see that 'for' is the preposition.

process proposal/recommendation


Explanation:
it's a 'suggestion FOR a process' or 'suggestion OF a process', but never a 'suggestion TO a process'

disagree  Yasutomo Kanazawa: Sorry Diarmuid, but I have to disagree with you. Ex sample: My suggestion TO you: go see a doctor. You never say My suggestion for you go see a doctor, or my suggestion of you: go see a doctor. I believe "to" is the only preposition which fits here.

  -> You are right, you suggest something to someone. But in my opinion, it is not good English to make suggestions TO a process. Can u provide me with a dictionary reference for the use of the word suggestion in the way you suggest? I haven't been able any.
