Is it correct : " I suggest you to roll over"

or I have to add the word "payment".. so " I suggest you to roll over the payment".

Thanks

I would drop the "to", at least in AE, but you really should add "the payment."

"Roll over" is a slang expression that means "surrender and submit". It has a very negative sexual connotation. A typical use would be:

"The boss said he'd stand up for us in that meeting, but when the battle came, he just rolled over and let them stick it to us."

I think you have to add "the payment"
otherwise it sounds like a suggestion from Chuck Berry to Beethoven. 👁 Smile :)

In this instance it would seem that "roll over" has the same meaning used for national lottery prizes which are not won in a given week. The prize is "rolled over' to the next week, increasing the potential jackpot.

In which case I would write "I suggest that you roll the payment over until/to next week"

Roll over a payment may mean reinvest. That lack of context in the first post makes this needlessly difficult.
