advise

advise
•• advise, advice

•• Advice 1. (informed) opinion about what to do, how to behave (A.S. Hornby). 2. a piece of information (Oxford American Dictionary).
•• Не следует забывать о таком значении слова advise, как извещать, сообщать, ставить в известность. В изданной журналом «Ридерз дайджест» книге Success with Words указывается, что это значение слова advise характерно для бизнеса и политики, я бы добавил – и для официально-бюрократического словоупотребления. Пример из этой книги: President Carter advised his Cabinet that he expected to resolve the remaining disarmament differences personally with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.
•• Теперь об известной рекомендации не употреблять слово advice (в значении совет) во множественном числе и даже в единственном числе говорить piece of advice. Первое верно, второе всегда казалось мне странным. Действительно, предлагаемый вариант звучит довольно старомодно. В единственном числе надо говорить advice (пусть это существительное в английском языке, в отличие от русского, неисчисляемое). Во множественном советы – recommendations, suggestions и опять-таки advice.
