Is it good English : 'I am unable to provide correct advice or advise you whether...' ?

';I am unable to provide correct advice'; is not good English because the word 'advice' is inconclusive.


You could say either ';I am unable to give advice......';


or ';I am unable to advise you whether........';Is it good English : 'I am unable to provide correct advice or advise you whether...' ?
Looks good - Advice is a noun, Advise is the verb.





A person receives advice but advises someone elseIs it good English : 'I am unable to provide correct advice or advise you whether...' ?
Perfect
advice
yep that's ok!
It's not technically incorrect but it's bad style because it's redundant.
Looks good to me.....
I think a better and simpler phrasing is:





';I am unable to provide you with advice on this matter....';





OR





';I am unable to advise you on this matter....';





Hope this helps!

    before we end our email and we are seeking advices form the counterparty, which 1 should we write?





    Kindly advice or Kindly advise?Before you end the email, what will you write?kindly advice or kindly advise?
    Advice is a noun. You can't use the word 'kindly' to describe 'advice', because kindly is an adverb, describing verbs, not nouns.





    Advise, on the other hand, is a verb, which typically means to give advice. You can use 'kindly advise', because, again, kindly (an adverb) describes verbs, which advise just so happens to be.Before you end the email, what will you write?kindly advice or kindly advise?
    You would answer Kindly advise because advise is a verb and advice is a noun.
    'Advice' is a noun whereas 'advise' is a verb. You want the verb.

    the word advice is used as a noun or adjective in English grammer and advise is used as a verb.So you must use advise as an verb in sentences for example .: '; he advised me not to do somethig wrong'; 谋f we give an instance the usage of advice as a noun '; Mumy please stop giving advice to me all the time! '; So advice is used here as an noun. You see it is very clear advice can be used as a noun or adj and advise is a verb thats the difference.....
    Advice is something you receive or give-- ';I would like your advice on which movie I should go see.'; Advise (the s is pronounced like a z) is an action word-- ';Would you please advise me on which movie to go see?'; or ';I wouldn't advise you to swim there unless you've had lessons.';

    well, the two words have the same meaning.





    the difference lies in that , advise is a verb while advice is a noun





    in your sentence you need a verb , therefor ';ADVISE';What will i use? ';advise? or advice?';?

    '; advice '; is used as a noun e.g. ';The doctor's advice is to take rest';.





    Another example ';practise / practice ';

    If I advise to limit, then there will be a limit. I actually keep advising without ever stopping every time I have the opportunity to. Some People need to be reminded all the time.





    If We consider ourselves as wise persons, them we have to know that with advising, without being a pain in the neck, we would get a result at the end.





    I actually a kind of person who doesn't like to be blamed because I didn't do my duty in a good way. So I prefer keep reminding but without annoying.Do you have a limit on advice or advise to limit?
    For most thingsI do have a limit on advice. I usually can give it three times for the same situation. If they do not follow, it is obvious they do not want to. Then, I wait to be asked. If things are extremely serious I will try harder. In the end it is up to them. Sometimes when you keep insisting, you only make them go away from you. And if it is an important person in your life, you should try to stay near in case they need your help instead of advice.
    We all have our limits but many don't respect or recognize them.
    no, i dont have a limit on the amount of advice i have, i pretty much have suggestions about almost anything! but i do sometimes advise myself to limit my advice, either because i dont wish to bore someone or i am getting bored myself, or i think its best they search within them for ideas, or i just dont want to take responsibility for giving advice,
    Too much advice belittles the asker. Advice should be succinct and pertinent, and always asked for.
    Never a limit on advice. Especially when no one is arguing with me. That's why I like it here.


    I would advise to limit certain things like drinking alcohol and smoking only because it will harm you if it is overdone.
    unlimited even infinity.check what painting I'm I working on tonight?
    Hi,


    To advise 'to limit' would not really be giving advice but trying to control someone's way of thinking and I would never to that. Although we advise, we must also leave everyone free to make their own decisions. We should not limit their outlook, in fact, people should be encouraged to consider their question from all perspectives. The answerer too might learn from reading other people's advice as there are more ways than one to look at a situation.


    Do I have a limit on advice? Only in so far as how capable I am to advise in the one day and depending of course on other commitments and responsibilities. After all we're only human and we have to respect our own limitations.

    Could you please do me a favor and let me know when to use 'advise' or 'advice' in a sentence?

    I am not american but my boss is american and every time I send him an email I hesitate about that word.


    Thank youCould you please do me a favor and let me know when to use 'advise' or 'advice' in a sentence?
    Hi.


    Here is the deal:


    advise is a verb and advice is a noun, now you can use it freely and surely that you won't make any more mistakes.


    Take care.Could you please do me a favor and let me know when to use 'advise' or 'advice' in a sentence?
    You advise someone on how to do something. You offer advice.
    The advice given by Ismaboa above is sound. The advice I'm advising you now is one way to use both words in one sentence.
    I advise you to take my advice.





    Advice is a noun, a ';thing'; (though not a physical thing).





    To advise someone is a verb, it's doing something.





    So, when you're talking about the ';stuff';, use the noun, advice; when you're talking about someone giving advice, use the verb, advise.
    Advise is ';to advise someone'; like I am advising you about how to use the words.


    It's pronounced like ';Ad-Vize';


    Advice is the actual content of say; this answer. It is the instruction that you are giving when you ';advise someone.';


    Pronounced as it is written. With the 'vice' like 'ice.'

    Why are men advised to be a challenge or play women in men's dating advice books?

    I have read about various tactics that men use on women to try to hook up with a hot woman. They are advised to be a challenge, use disconnectors (like cutting them off on purpose, saying they have to go, saying they don't want to do something, saying they are bored or forgot to call, for exs.) to get a woman's attention, This is necessary because beautiful women are spoiled brats with low frustration tolerance (an actual Psychology term). In other words, they are used to getting what they want, and when they don't they are irritated and will start working harder to get what they want- supposedly the man who is being a challenge. So what do feminists or men who have tried to do this or would not do this think? Does this work, is all this game playing necessary or is it the typical man-woman power struggle?Why are men advised to be a challenge or play women in men's dating advice books?
    Actually, it's usually genuine boredom and a decision to get on to better more important things.





    Women have a habit of reading more into things than is really there.





    If this makes a woman ';work harder'; that's a good thing , maybe she'll be less of a bore next time.





    *** In the past , in an attempt to be polite or chivalrous a guy might sit through a lousy date, but these days ,why should he ?Why are men advised to be a challenge or play women in men's dating advice books?
    ';Men's dating advice books'; are only for that - teaching them some ';time-tested tricks'; that will guarantee ';numerous notches on ones bed post';. If they didnt entice men with such ';promising material';, they may not sell.





    I never had the need to read such books for real advice. For someone whos a natural, books arent needed. Yes some of this game playing does give results, but the depth or longevity of such relationships that needed games to be played are debatable.
    It works on a certain type of women. I don't know exactly what that type is, but I know it's not me. I have a guy friend who treats women like that and he's never without female company. I don't respond to men who act like that, but maybe it's because I know what to expect from them because of how I've seen my friend act.





    I think that if a guy just wants sex then he has a good chance of getting it by playing these games, but meaningful relationships won't workout like that.
    those books are written by fools for fools. Attracting another person is about being yourself, not playing a whole bunch of complex mind games-mostly because everyone has a different personality. Maybe one of the tricks worked on one woman, but ten others may be disgusted with the guy.





    I hate those dating books, and its very obvious when a man or woman has read one and tries to hit on you.
    Those books are written by idiots for idiots.





    I personally love playing complex mind games but only for casual relationships.





    If you *really* want that girl/guy, don't play so much games.
    Its childish to play games and I don't follow other peoples rules. I think it is cruel to mislead someone in the hopes to invade/take advantage of them.
    I guess it's just like women who use ';The Rules'; as a way to attract the attention of men. Many in both sexes use games. I'd rather be honest and be with like minded people.
    No, its because dating books will do anything to get money from those who lack social skills. Women's magazines and books have been doing the same thing to men for ages.
    Well that explains why a lot of ';hot'; women I know connect with losers. It seems that many of the best looking women I know are attracted to men to treat them poorly. Why?
    No, it works. But it only works on weak-minded women. It works on the women as stated that are used to having their way with men, and will do what ever it takes to ensure they continue to have their way. The one鈥檚 who normally use what they鈥檝e got to get what they want. I've seen many of my guy friends use these tactics on some ';hot girls'; successfully. And the idiots just keep coming back for more.





    But most of the men who use these tactics are men who're lonely, and really want some one in their lives, but are afraid of being hurt. They where once hurt by a ';hot girl'; so this is their way of getting all ';hot girls'; back for what that one girl did to them. And the cycle just keep's repeating itself until someone get's tired of playing games and really wants to settle down.





    All in all, when it comes time for someone to really find a mate, they'll get sick of the head games, and the ';play books'; and they'll get serious. Most of these men and women who claim they enjoy the chase get burnt out with it like everyone else. It's not to cool when you go to wash your face in the morning and see a 40 yr old single, with no kids, living at home alone still eating T.V. dinners reflection starting back at you. Everybody wants' someone in their lives, and we all want to be wanted by someone. It's human nature. It's just that many people live an empty life for years before they come to the realization that all those games they played with many hearts (both men and women) only got them nothing but an empty house and a trail of tears (some theirs, and some of the people they鈥檝e hurt).
    All of my relationships have pretty much started out this way. They played these head games with me. In all cases the men became more demanding and controlling. I became more of a people pleaser trying to get him to love me. He would withhold his love to manipulate and control me. needless to say the relationships ended with emotional %26amp; physical abuse. I feel that if a relationship starts out as a power struggle with a fondation of manipulation and control it is doomed to faliure. I see the only way to have a good relationship is through honesty %26amp; trust. Mabey these books are talking about just getting laid and not advice for a real relationship.
    Ill answer the last first. Yes it is necessary, men and women do a dance to attract a mate this just happens to be one of them.





    Does it work? Yes, generally speaking women (men to a lesser degree) are very self conscious and tie far too much of their self worth to their ability to attract and hold a mate. The basic premise is to make the woman feel undesired so she will work hard to be desirable to the man attacking her self worth. If she is successful she will fell better about herself and he will get what he wants.


    Its really true the a$$holes get the hot girls, they just cant keep them. When you are looking for a keeper girl and not just a booty call you will change tactics and be the nice guy because your looking for a smarter more valuable mate who doesnt suffer the self esteem issues that the easy girls do.
    For the same reason that women's dating books also give advice about trying to hook up with a man by disrespecting him, ignoring phone calls, and somehow using their psychology against them.





    None of these dating books offer advice for building meaningful relationships and connecting with people, but trying to gain their interest in ways that show complete lack of respect for the other person. They certainly encourage both men and women to engage in power-struggles which are completely detrimental to building a healthy relationship with them. If both are playing hard-to-get, who does the chasing anyway?





    I would ignore all of them. It's more useful to try and be open and honest with the person about your intentions, respect their boundaries and refrain from witholding affection on the basis of maintaining an elusive upper-hand in the situation.





    These books don't teach you anything unless you're trying to get into someone's pants, and even then, I'm not sure why I would jump into someone's pants if they ignored me and made excuses about it constantly.





    Maintaining a healthy challenge by not being too available to the person because you're leading your own life is one thing, but deliberately pushing them away to get their attention is not only disrespectful to the other person, but it's a punishment for yourself too.
    If women, even the spoiled ones are up on game, these tactics do not work. I went to see this FINE attractive guy at his place of work. He focused 95% of his attention on my lil cousin who was visting from out the country (she's 8). For a min I thought hey.. as he embrassed me long n close at the end.... HOWEVER I remembered hearing about the tactic of in a sense dissing the girl by not giving her attention, thus my feelings were not hurt and I was able to not get drawn in. Haha. Guys are so lame to stoop so low to using tactics. LOSER! lol. As fine as he was......





    tHUMBS DOWN? Okay, wutever....be thinkin guys dont use skills/tactics to get a girl.
