豆知識

The word 'aviso' is related to other Spanish words like 'vista' (sight) and 'avisar' (to warn or notify).

使い方

Aviso is commonly used for written warnings or notices, like a sign that says 'Aviso: Zona de Obra' (Warning: Construction Zone). It can also be used for a general announcement or a heads-up. For example, if you want to let your friends know about a party, you could say 'Les doy un aviso de que la fiesta es el sábado' (I'm giving you a heads-up that the party is on Saturday).

よくある間違い

A common mistake is confusing 'aviso' with 'advertencia'. While both can mean 'warning', 'advertencia' often implies a more serious or formal warning, especially regarding danger or legal implications. For instance, a doctor might give an 'advertencia' about the risks of a procedure, whereas a simple 'aviso' might just be a notification. Also, sometimes learners try to use 'aviso' as a verb meaning 'to warn', but the correct verb is 'avisar'. For example, 'I warn you' is 'Te aviso', not 'Te aviso'.
