Interestingly enough, French has both "souffrir" (best translated as
'suffer', I believe, with connotations and all) and "subir" (translated
as 'to go through', perhaps?), both of which also have the same
connotation of ill treatment.

I think that 'subir' is used to say that something happened to you (j'ai
subi X) whereas 'souffrir' is used to indicate the state of suffering,
perhaps from something, e.g. je souffre de X.

So I guess 'sofrer' would be 'subir' in French, even though there's
still the issue of connotation...

Well, interesting stuff, but perhaps slightly off-topic. :-)

Cheers,
