TO ADVISE

Hello again everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin.

The meaning of the English verb advise is not the same as the similar looking Spanish/Catalan word avisar.

Advise means: to give your opinion about the best thing to do in a certain situation.

Example 1
My broker advised me to buy shares in a mutual fund.

Example 2
Janet's doctor advised her to stop smoking.

Example 3
Matthew advised me to stay in contact with English in the summer.

This verb, then, is the equivalent of "aconsejar" in Spanish ("consellar" in Catalan). It does not mean "avisar." Do you know how to say "avisar" in English? The answer is after my Signature.
