suggested to me vs suggested me

Both "suggested to me" and "suggested me" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Suggested to me" is used when mentioning the person who made the suggestion. However, "suggested me" is used when the object of the suggestion is a person. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on the specific context in which they are used.
