ADVISE VS. ADVICE

What’s the difference between advise and advice?

Advise is a verb that means to give advice—guidance about what someone should do.

Despite their very similar spelling, advice and advise are pronounced differently. Advise rhymes with prize, while advice rhymes with ice.

Because the two words are so closely related, they are often used in the same contexts, so the challenge is simply to remember which spelling to use for the noun and which spelling to use for the verb.

Our advice? Remember that, unlike advise, advice never gets an s, even at the end (advice is a mass noun, so it’s never pluralized as advices).

Here’s an example of advise and advice used correctly in a sentence.

Example: I advise you to get some professional financial advice before you start a business.

To advise someone is to give them advice, or counsel. If you live in Iceland and a friend visiting you from Hawaii asks what he should pack, advise him to bring warm clothes and snow boots.

Advise comes from a Latin word for vision. We want people to advise us if we think they can see the whole picture better than we can. For this reason, we often seek the advice of trained people. Financial advisors advise their clients on which funds to invest in. Legal advisors advise their clients on the law. To advise can also be to give notice. You should advise your boss of your decision to quit at least two weeks in advance.

    — give smb much of advice
    — ask for advice
    — take smb’s advice

    USAGE:

    (1.) Русские существительное «совет» исчисляемое и, соответственно, имеет формы единственного и множественного числа, согласуется с глаголом в соответственном числе. В отличие от русского существительного, английское advice — неисчисляемое, имеет только одну форму и согласуется с глаголом в форме единственного числа. Английское advice никогда не употребляется с неопределенным артиклем, а сочетается с some, any, much, little: he gave me good advice, ср. он дал мне хороший совет/; all his advice was useful он дал мне хорошие советы, ср. все его советы были полезны; I got very little (much) advice from him я получил у него мало (много) советов; could I ask you for some advice могу я обратиться к вам за советом? (2.) Русское сочетание «один совет (два, три совета)» передается сочетаниями a piece of advice, one or two pieces of advice. (3.) К этой группе относятся также существительные: fruit — фрукт/фрукты, information — сведение/сведения; knowledge — знание/знания; homework — домашнее задание/домашние задания; research — исследование/исследования; hair — волос/волосы

    English-Russian combinatory dictionary > advice

  • Кто из нас не любит давать советы? Куда пойти, что сделать, что надеть сегодня вечером – обо всем этом мы можем услышать, даже если не спрашивали.

    В английском языке тема советов более деликатная. Иностранцу не всегда может понравиться, что вы что-то ему рекомендуете, когда он вас об этом не просит. Как же тогда американцы и англичане живут без советов? У них есть очень много способов передать свои предложения, пожелания и рекомендации, чаще всего в завуалированной форме.

    В этой статье вы узнаете множество грамматических конструкций, слов и выражений, которые помогут вам поделиться советом на английском языке.

    Advice или advise?

    Advice переводится как «совет», это существительное, advise – «советовать», глагол.

    Советы бывают разные:

    Хороший Good Advice
    Отличный Excellent
    Полезный Useful
    Дельный Constructive
    Разумный Sound
    Ценный Valuable
    Плохой Bad
    Неправильный Wrong

    That’s really constructive advice and Ron’s advice was bad. – Это действительно дельный совет, а совет Рона был плохим.

    Помните, что английский advice – это неисчисляемое существительное, поэтому с ним нельзя использовать неопределенный артикль и он не может использоваться во множественном числе. Если вы хотите акцентировать внимание на том, что совет один, используйте такие словосочетания, как a bit of advice, a piece of advice, a word of advice, some advice. Все эти сочетания будут переводиться как «небольшой совет», «один совет». В английском также есть такие сочетания, как two pieces of advice или several words of advice, но обычно так не говорят. Если советов больше одного, можно сказать some advice (небольшой совет; пара советов / несколько советов).

    He gave me a word of advice on my driving. – Он дал мне небольшой совет относительно моего вождения.

    Совет можно не только «дать». С ним используются и другие глаголы:

    Дать To give somebody Advice
    Предложить To offer somebody
    Принять To take/obtain
    Попросить To ask for
    Прислушаться к To listen to
    Последовать To follow
    Проигнорировать To ignore
    Отвергнуть To reject

    Глагол to advise используется в речи носителей гораздо реже. В английской традиции не принято напрямую давать советы (за исключением ситуаций, когда вас открыто об этом попросили). В случае крайней необходимости вы можете сказать: I strongly advise… – Я настоятельно рекомендую…

    I strongly advise you not to keep company with him. – Я настоятельно тебе рекомендую не водиться с ним.

    Making suggestions. Совет-предложение

    Как уже говорилось выше, совет лучше не давать напрямую. Для того чтобы быть вежливым советчиком, используйте предложения (suggestions) и рекомендации (recommendations). Этой цели служат:

    • Глаголы to suggest (предлагать), to recommend (рекомендовать). После этих глаголов обычно используется существительное, герундий или придаточное предложение с that. С глаголом to recommend употребляется еще и инфинитив.

      He recommended taking a chicken in this restaurant. – Он рекомендовал попробовать цыпленка в этом ресторане.

      I suggest that you take morning courses. – Я советую тебе ходить на утренние занятия.

      He suggested going by bus. – Он советовал ехать на автобусе.

      Jane recommended Alice not to wear this skirt for the date. – Джейн посоветовала Элис не надевать эту юбку на свидание.

    • Выражения to come up with a suggestion/recommendation (внести предложение/рекомендацию), to make a suggestion/recommendation (внести предложение / дать рекомендацию).

      She came up with an interesting suggestion but her boss rejected it. – Она внесла интересное предложение, но босс отверг его.

      He made a recommendation to the board of directors on the working conditions. Он дал рекомендации для совета директоров относительно рабочих условий.

    Даем совет с помощью модального глагола

    Модальные глаголы – самый распространенный способ дать совет. При этом каждый модальный глагол передает свою степень настойчивости:

    • must – настойчивый совет;
    • should – общий совет;
    • ought to – совет морального характера;
    • can (could) – совет-предложение.

    You ought to call your mom this week. – Ты должен позвонить маме на этой неделе. (мои моральные принципы говорят о том, что надо позвонить маме)

    We can join them after dinner. – Мы можем присоединиться к ним после ужина.

    C помощью must и should мы даем совет близким людям, друзьям, так как эти глаголы открыто сообщают, что делать. Малознакомому человеку такой совет покажется слишком прямолинейным. Здесь лучше использовать can (could).

    You must see this film on a big screen! – Ты просто обязан увидеть этот фильм на большом экране!

    He shouldn’t eat so many hamburgers and French fries. – Он не должен есть так много гамбургеров и картошки фри.

    Настойчивая рекомендация на английском языке

    В случае если собеседник пренебрегает вашим советом, а вы хотите сообщить ему, что рекомендация очень ценная и ею непременно следует воспользоваться, то вам повезло. В английском языке для этого есть специальная конструкция – had better (лучше бы), в сокращенном варианте – ‘d better. Обычно она подразумевает, что может случиться что-то плохое, если вы отвергните совет.

    You’d better put on your wooly hat. It’s freezing outside, you can catch a cold. – Лучше бы тебе надеть шерстяную шапку. На улице мороз, ты можешь простудиться.

    You’d better stop teasing the dog before it bites you. – Тебе лучше бы перестать дразнить собаку, пока она тебя не укусила.

    Если вы все еще сомневаетесь, в какой форме выразить свой совет, посмотрите видео о разнице между should, ought to, had better:

    Совет в форме вопроса

    Если вы хотите произвести впечатление учтивого человека, предлагайте совет в форме вопроса. Такой совет будет вежливым и ненавязчивым.

    Совет-вопрос может выглядеть так:

    • Why don’t you..? – Почему бы не..?
    • How about..? – Как насчет.. ?
    • Have you tried..? – Ты не пробовал..?
    • Have you thought about..? – Ты не думал о том, что..?
    • Have you considered..? – Ты не думал о..?

    Why don’t you come up and meet this girl? She’s given you a smile. – Почему бы тебе не подойти и не познакомиться с этой девушкой? Она тебе улыбнулась.

    Have you considered giving up your work as a ticket collector and concentrating on studying? – Ты не думал бросить работу билетером и сосредоточиться на учебе?

    Совет с помощью условного предложения

    Условное предложение – это еще один способ преподнести вежливый совет. В такой форме ваши слова не покажутся собеседнику навязчивыми, а будут звучать как предложение.

    He will let you drive his car if you ask him. – Он позволит тебе покататься на его машине, если ты попросишь.

    If you visited her in hospital, she would be really glad. – Если бы ты навестил ее в больнице, она была бы очень рада.

    • Если вы подзабыли «условности», освежить знания вам поможет статья «Условные предложения в английском языке».

    Put yourself in somebody’s shoes

    В продолжение темы условных предложений: если вы хотите дать хороший совет, поставьте себя на место человека (put yourself in their shoes). Такая форма совета выигрышна вдвойне: вы произведете впечатление и как воспитанный человек, и как понимающий.

    • If I were you… – Если бы я был тобой …
    • If I were in your shoes… – Если бы я был на твоем месте (дословно – в твоих ботинках)…
    • If I were in your place… – Если бы я был на твоем месте…
    • If that happened to me… – Если бы это произошло со мной…
    • If it was my decision… – Если бы я принимал решение…
    • If I had that problem… – Если бы у меня была такая проблема…

    I would call my wife immediately if such a joyous thing happened to me. – Я бы сразу позвонил жене, если бы такое радостное событие произошло со мной.

    If I had that problem, I would never let anyone interfere in my business. – Если бы у меня была такая проблема, я бы никогда не позволил кому-либо вмешиваться в мои дела.

    Совет-предостережение

    Мы также можем использовать глагол to want, когда хотим дать совет или предупредить о чем-то. Это вариант исключительно разговорный. По смыслу он совпадает с модальным глаголом should и переводится как «следует», «надо». Как правило, to want используется в настоящем времени, реже – в будущем.

    You want to be careful in the streets in the evening. – Тебе следует быть осторожным на улице вечером.

    You’ll want to take off your coat and bring it to the dry-cleaner’s. – Тебе надо снять с себя пальто и отнести его в химчистку.

    Как еще дать совет: полезные фразы

    Вы все еще чувствуете, что полезных выражений для совета недостаточно в вашей копилке знаний? Тогда ознакомьтесь еще с несколькими фразами, с помощью которых можно поделиться советом:

    • It is a good idea… – Хорошая идея…
    • Whatever you do, don’t forget to… – Что бы ты ни делал, не забывай…
    • always works for me. – …всегда мне помогает.
    • Your only option is… – Твой единственный вариант…
    • You have no choice but… – У тебя нет другого выбора, кроме как…
    • is worth a try. – …стоит попробовать.
    • I read in a book that… – Я читал в книге, что…
    • Perhaps/Maybewill really work. – Возможно, … действительно сработает.

    It’s a good idea to calm down and not attack that arrogant guy. – Хорошей идеей будет успокоиться и не нападать на этого заносчивого парня.

    This herbal tea always works for my headache. – Этот травяной чай всегда мне помогает при головных болях.

    Advise is a verb meaning to give a recommendation, opinion, or information. Advice is a noun referring to the opinion or information given or received. Very simply, «advise» means «to give advice.»

    woman giving professional advice

    Although numerous English usage commentators and handbooks, from grade school up, warn not to confuse the similarly spelled—but clearly different—advise and advice, evidence attesting to English users misapplying them turns up frequently enough to prompt us to give instruction on their correct spellings and meanings. A chief cause of the confusion seems to be that these orthographically close words are both associated with guidance that is sought or given.

    The MidWeek (DeKalb, Illinois)_, 3 Apr. 2019

    The Difference Between ‘Advise’ and ‘Advice’

    The main difference between the words, besides a letter and their pronunciations, is their parts of speech. Advise (with an s pronounced z) is a verb that indicates the act of giving an opinion, suggestion, recommendation, or information, while advice (with a c pronounced s) is a noun that refers to the opinion, suggestion, etc., that is given or received. In other words, the verb advise means «to give advice.» Here are examples of correct use of both words:

    I advise you to stay at home—the weather is nasty.

    The attorney advised her client to not sign the contract.

    Patience is always advised when dealing with children.

    My parents’ advice was to always follow my dreams.

    He followed the doctor’s advice and lost some weight.

    Her father offered some words/pieces of advice on buying a home.

    Forms of ‘Advise’

    As a verb, advise has inflected forms: the present tense advises, the past tense advised, and the present participle advising. For those in doubt on whether to use advise or advice when a verb is called for, remember that a verb expresses action and that the verb advise has an s as does express. Advise is also the word that follows please when expressing a request for guidance or information. «Please advise» is common without a direct object in the closing of a correspondence, but it typically takes one in other contexts (e.g., «Please advise me on how to proceed»; «Please be advised that we will be closing early.»)

    ‘Advice’ Has No Other Forms

    Advice, on the other hand, only occurs in the plain form advice because it is a mass noun, which means it does not have a plural form, making advices incorrect (only advise has an -s suffix); additionally, it is not used with the indefinite article an. If one can recall, when hesitation on which spelling to use strikes, that advise is a verb that expresses action, then by default they can confidently choose advice as the correct noun spelling. Advice can be modified by an adjective («good/bad/professional/unsolicited advice»), and it is often found in the common collocations «to give/offer/provide advice,» «to seek/ask for advice,» and «to follow advice.»

    Tips For Keeping Them Apart

    We hope this primer on advise and advice is helpful in differentiating the verb advise from the noun advice. We leave you with one more tip for choosing the right spelling: try the alphabet. The term noun comes before verb in the alphabet like the letter c comes before s and, in turn, alphabetically advice and noun come before advise and verb. Pointers aside, correct spelling ultimately comes down to memorizing advice as the noun and advise as the verb. That’s the most sound advice.

    When considering advice vs advise, writers need to know that these are not synonyms, and are actually different parts of speech.

    The words “advice” and “advise” look very similar, but that one simple spelling change, the “c” into an “s” changes the word completely. Not only are these two words pronounced differently, but they are also different parts of speech. 

    Yet the fact that these words look and sound so similar and show up in the same context often make them easy to mix up. Good writers need to understand the difference between advice vs. advise if they will create meaningful, understandable writing.

    Advice vs Advise – Understanding the Differences

    Advice vs advise explained

    According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “advice” with an -ice is a noun that means “recommendation regarding a decision or course of conduct.” The dictionary defines advise with an -ise as a verb that means “to give a recommendation about what should be done” or “to give advice.”

    Based on these two definitions, writers can easily see why these land on lists of commonly confused words in American English.

    A Closer Look at the Noun Advice

    A Closer Look At The Noun Advice

    Advice most commonly refers to recommending a course of action or conduct

    “Advice” with a c is a noun. The -ice ending sounds like the word “ice.” It most commonly refers to recommending a course of action or conduct, but it can also be used to mean an official notice.

    Here are some example sentences using “advice” as an uncountable noun. 

    • He gave advice about how to win the girl’s affection.
    • The teacher gave the students some advice on how to study for the exam.

    “Advice” can also be a countable noun, but in this case, it is always paired with “piece of,” as in:

    • Let me give you a piece of advice about going to college.

    Finally, the plural of “advice” can refer to official government recommendations or statements, such as:

    • The official advices from the CDC recommend avoiding unnecessary travel to countries where illness is prevalent.

    A Closer Look at the Verb Advise

    Advise with an -ise ending sounds like “ize.” This verb means to give advice to someone. So, you could advise someone with your best piece of advice.

    Here are some examples of advise used correctly:

    • He advised the students about what time to come to class to avoid late marks.
    • She was willing to advise her understudy about the best way to tackle the scene.

    Because it is a verb, advise can also be a participle, which is a verb ending in -ing or -ed that acts as an adjective. This might look like:

    • The advising attorney recommended the prosecution push for stronger charges.

    American English vs British English

    The advice vs. advise conundrum comes largely from the differences in spelling between British English and American English. In British English, many words that have both a verb and a noun form change between the “s” and “c” to distinguish. For example, “practice” is a noun while “practise” is a verb.

    This is not the case in American English, where both the noun and verb form of the word end in -ce. Thus, American writers get confused when presented with advice and advise.

    The same thing is true for the words “device” and “devise,” which are less often confused. Again, the -ice ending is the noun form and the -ise ending is the verb form. If writers can remember these two and keep them separate, then advice vs advise becomes much easier.

    The Final Word on Advice vs Advise

    Keeping “advice” and “advise” straight is fairly simple. The -ice ending sounds like “ice” and is a noun, while the -ise ending sounds like “ize” and is a verb. This is always the case, without exception, and that makes the differentiation between the two very simple.

    Learning this rule will help you avoid problems from these commonly confused words in your own writing.

    FAQs on Advice vs Advise

    Are “advice” and “advise” interchangeable?

    No, “advice” is always used as a noun, whereas “advise” is always used as a verb. Thus, because they are different parts of speech, they are not interchangeable.

    Can “advise” take the role of a participle?

    Yes, advise can be a participle to describe a noun. The sentence “The advising professor recommended adding another history course” uses it this way.

Although the English language makes a distinction between advise and advice, it is not always easy to tell the difference because they are both commonly used in everyday conversations. However, understanding the difference between advice vs. advise is the key to knowing how each word should be used. In this post, we’ll cover the difference between these two words plus when and how you should use them.

    Advise vs. advice. Advise with s is a verb. Advice with c is a noun. A guy giving his distraught friend advice.

    Advise with an ‘s’ is a verb and is used when recommending something. On the other hand, advice with a ‘c’ is a noun and refers to the suggestion or recommendation itself.

    On the surface, advice and advise sound the same, but they are actually different in meaning. Besides their difference in spelling and pronunciation, they also answer different questions. Advice (c pronounced as s) is a noun. It refers to the opinion or suggestion that you give or receive from someone. Advise (s pronounced as z), on the other hand, is a verb. It refers to the actual act of giving information and guidance to someone.

    Do You Advise or Advice?

    You can advise (with an ‘s‘) because advise is a verb. You can’t advice (with a ‘c‘) because this word is a noun. In other words, advice is a noun — it’s a thing.Advise is a transitive or an intransitive verb — it’s a “doing word.” You can’t chair someone, but you can give them a chair. Similarly, you can’t advice someone, but you can give them advice.

    Advice vs. Advise Pronunciation Guide

    These two words look alike, but they sound different when spoken aloud.

    👀 On one hand, the ‘s‘ in advise is almost pronounced like a ‘z‘ (add-VYZ). If it rhymes with the word “eyes,” you know you’re pronouncing advise correctly.

    🧊 On the other hand, the ‘c‘ in advice is pronounced like an ‘s‘ (add-VICE). If it rhymes with the word “ice,” you know you’re pronouncing advice correctly.

    How Do You Use Advice and Advise in a Sentence?

    Here are the best examples of how to use advice and advise in a sentence:

    A man giving his sad-looking son some advice.

    You can’t advice someone, but you can ‘give them advice.’

    Is Please Advise Rude?

    The phrase “please advise” is a succinct request for information or guidance, and isn’t necessarily rude. However, it depends on the context as well as the speaker’s tone, intention, and style. For instance, some may take it as too short, blunt, demanding, or even passive aggressive. Moreover, some consider it redundant and would prefer a direct question. On the other hand, it can also stand in for “let me know” (Should you have any questions, please advise).

    Let’s look at a few examples of “please advise” in action:

    In the first instance, “please advise” comes across as benign and a little dry, but not rude. In the second instance, the reader knows they’re in trouble. Tone can be hard to read via email, so if you’re in doubt, use a different phrase.
