Which word to use?
I asked someone for advice/ advise.

Advise is the verb, advice is the noun. When you advise someone, you are giving them advice.
They are pronounced differently too. In ‘advise’, the ‘s’ has a ‘z’ sound. In ‘advice’, the ‘c’ has an ‘s’ sound.

Hi Crisna, In both cases use 'advice', the noun, because you are referring to a thing, intangible though it may be. We know it's the noun and not the verb because we can substitute another noun and the sentence still make sense:
I asked someone for WATER. Therefore, I asked someone for ADVICE.

Thanks, Alaina. That does help. Next time, I'll find which part of speech a word belongs to and then use it accordingly :-)

you should use "advice" because it is a noun. "thank you for your advice"
advise is a verb. "i advise you to do this better."
hope this helps! :)
