Hey sajjad‚ "Endure is a synonym of tolerate. As verbs the difference between tolerate and endure is that tolerate is to allow (something that one dislikes or disagrees with) to exist or occur without interference while endure is to continue or carry on, despite obstacles or hardships. Example:The singer's popularity endured for decades. (Here it means his popularity lasted or continued for decades) Example: I like the way he plays the guitar, but I can't tolerate his voice when he sings. (Now here the word tolerate means that "I cannot bear his voice any more‚ I cannot keep up with him because his voice for example is very loud or sth else ) I wish to help :))

"Tolerate" means to deal with people/peoples you don't like/accept. "American Christians tolerate homosexuals because hate crimes are technically illegal in America." "Endure" means to get through a situation you don't like. "The climbers endured the cold for two weeks in order to reach the summit."
