[edit] Difference between the words advice and advise

Advice is a noun. It is a recommendation. e.g.

  • His advice was sound and everyone listened to him.
  • I am seeking your advice because you are more experienced in such matters.
  • I turned down that bribe on your advice.

Advise is a verb. It means "to give advice" and therefore refers to the act of giving advice. e.g.

  • I would advise you to submit your resignation in view of this scandal.
  • My lawyer has advised me to settle this matter out of court.

The correct uses are: "Please advise" "Kindly advise" You are using it as a verb when you say "Please advise."

Hi, Can we use the phrase 'Kindly advice' in emails or should it be 'Kindly advise' strictly. Please help.

Just a piece of advice. (we don't use S here because it is not being used as a verb) As per your father's advice (again - it is a thing - not a verb - in this sentence. So use C instead of S) as per Rose's advice OR you say "as Rose advised". When Rose advised me I got her advice. If it's action it is adviSe and if it's a thing it is adviCe.
