ADVICE vs. ADVISE pronunciation | American English

Hi there, it's Hadar.

And this is the Accent's Way, your way to finding clarity,

confidence, and freedom in English.

Today I'd like to talk to you about the two words: advice versus advise.

'advice', the noun, as in 'I need an advice from you'.

And 'advise', the verb, as in 'I'd like to advise you on something'.

They both begin the same - 'uhd'.

So, it's a reduced vowel - a schwa, and then a D sound.

So it's not [a]dvice or [aa]dvice, it's 'uh' - 'uhd'.

Then the primary stress is different, depending on the word.

For the noun - advice, it's a V sound going to the [aɪ]

as in 'my' vowel diphthong.

And then it ends with a S as in 'sun' - an S sound.

'uhd-VAIS'.

'I need an advice'.

The word 'advise' ends with a Z sound, with a Z as in 'zebra' - 'uhd-VAIZ',

it's a voiced sound versus a voiceless S.

'uhd-VAIZ'.

'I'd like to advise you on something'.

Okay?

Do you hear the difference?

advice versus advise.

All right?

Simple.

That's it for today.
