German term

nahe legte

Non-PRO German to English Art/Literary Journalism
Seine Lästereien könnten TV-Moderator Oliver Pocher teuer zu stehen kommen. Weil er einer Zuschauerin vor laufender Kamera eine Schönheits-OP nahe legte, soll der Comedian nun zwischen 5000 und 10.000 Euro Schmerzensgeld zahlen. Die Summe ist Pocher jedoch viel zu hoch.

agree writeaway : Langenscheidt also says it can mean urge to and if the person was awarded Schmerzensgeld, I can imagine the man did more than drop a hint or suggest

told - See full sentence below

Because he told a member of the audience on camera that she should get cosmetic surgery.

I hate this guy anyway - He just seems such a smark Alec who is so full of himself. I don't see anything remotely amusing about humiliating someone in this way.
