I don't quite follow. Are you saying that the target will or will not
follow further commands of the caster. The SRD states "You can instead
specify conditions that will trigger a special activity during the
duration.". So if the target is told "I suggest you give 1gp to every
human female you meet.", the target would act normally, but every time
they meet a human female they would give 1gp to that female. So does
that mean if given the suggestion "I suggest everytime you hear a
command spoken to you in elven you follow that command." would cause
the target to obey all orders spoken to it in elven (assuming the
target speaks elven)?

Suggestion isn't really (to my eye) intended to give you ongoing, open-
ended influence over a victim, but to have the victim perform a
*specific* course of action immediately or when a set condition is
met.

Thus, the suggestion that the victim "follow all orders issued in
Elvish" is open-ended and nonspecific, so it wouldn't take. However,
you can Suggest that the next time someone speaks to the victim in
Elvish, he will flee the scene as fast as he can. That's a specific
action with a set condition.

That would fail--you need to make it seem reasonable to the target.
Why should he flee someone speaking Elvish?
