​"Advice" and "advise" are two different words with different meanings.

"Advice" is a noun that means a suggestion or recommendation about what someone should do in a specific situation. For example, "I gave him some advice on how to improve his writing."

"Advise" is a verb that means to give advice or to recommend a course of action. For example, "I advised him to take a break and rest for a few days."

The key difference between these words is that "advice" is a noun, while "advise" is a verb. "Advice" is what you give or receive, while "advise" is what you do when you give advice.
