Difference between 'advise' and 'advice'

Advice & Advise

The words advice and advise are often mixed up, which is quite understandable since they have similar spellings and meanings.

'Advice' is a noun: you can give someone a 'piece of advice'. For example, let me give you some advice about travelling in China.

'Advise' is a verb: He advised me to always keep my passport on me when I was in China. His advice was very useful.

The word advice is used far more often in everyday language than its counterpart. When you ask for someone's opinion, you're asking for advice. When you're giving someone a recommendation, you're still giving advice. But you're also advising. Differentiating between the two can be confusing, but if you consider the parts of speech before making the choice, it will be much easier. Advice is a noun; advise is a verb. Besides, you certainly aren't advicing!

The word advise is used less often, but it still has its place, especially in the world of business. You might say, "Please advise me on how you would like to proceed" or "I would advise you to start saving your money."


Example: She was asked to advise (verb) the government on immigration. Her advice (noun) was used to prepare the new programs.
