Suicide : The word means an action of taking one's own life deliberately.The word is a noun and not a verb. It can be used as an adjective also. For example: The suicide bomber attacked the hotel and killed many innocent people. 'Suicidal' it is also an adjective . It means self-destructive .

I have come across people saying: He has suicided. It is not correct. The correct form is -He has committed suicide.

When you use 'suicidal ' you are using it as an adjective. For example; His suicidal nature is worrying his parents.


Sample Usage
