Definition
Advice is an opinion or suggestion about what someone should do in a situation. It is usually given to help someone make a decision or solve a problem.
Usage & Nuances
Usually uncountable: say 'some advice' or 'a piece of advice,' not 'an advice.' Common patterns: 'give advice,' 'ask for advice,' 'take/follow advice.' It is slightly more formal than 'tip,' which is often shorter and more practical.
