When you want to give someone advice in Japanese, a common and polite way to say it is 助言する (jogen suru). This verb literally means "to advise" or "to counsel." You can use it when you're suggesting the best way for someone to do something or helping them make a decision.
For example, if a friend is unsure about which train to take, you could say something like, "I can 助言する you on the best route." It's a useful phrase to know for offering helpful suggestions.
When you're learning Japanese at a B1 level, you're starting to have more complex conversations. This is where verbs like 助言する (jogensuru) come in handy. It means 'to advise' or 'to counsel'. You'll use it when you want to suggest the best course of action to someone, or when you're talking about someone giving advice. It's a useful word to know for expressing opinions and offering help in various situations.
When you want to tell someone to give advice in Japanese, you'll use the verb 助言する (jogen suru). This verb is quite common and can be used in many situations where you're offering guidance or suggestions. Think of it as a more formal and slightly stronger way to say "to give advice" compared to simply saying you're giving an opinion.
For example, if a teacher is giving advice to a student about their studies, they might say something like 「先生が学生に勉強について助言する」 (Sensei ga gakusei ni benkyou ni tsuite jogen suru - The teacher advises the student about their studies). You can also use it when talking about professionals giving advice, like a lawyer advising a client. It's a useful word to know when discussing situations where guidance or recommendations are being provided.
When using 「助言する」 (jogen suru), it implies providing advice or counsel, often in a more formal or serious context than simply giving a suggestion. It suggests offering guidance on the best course of action, particularly when someone is facing a dilemma or needs direction.
You might hear this verb used in professional settings, such as a lawyer advising a client, or a mentor counseling a mentee. It carries a sense of responsibility and thoughtful consideration. For instance, a doctor might 「助言する」 on lifestyle changes for a patient. It's not just a casual suggestion; it's a considered piece of advice aimed at helping someone navigate a situation effectively.
When using 助言する (jogensuru), it's important to understand the nuance it carries. While it translates to 'to advise' or 'to counsel,' it often implies offering thoughtful suggestions or guidance, rather than giving direct orders or commands. It suggests a more collaborative approach, where you're helping someone consider their options and make their own decision, rather than dictating a solution.
This verb is commonly used in professional settings, such as a superior advising a subordinate, or in personal contexts when a friend or family member offers well-considered advice. The recipient of the advice is still expected to exercise their own judgment. It's not about imposing your will, but about empowering others with information and perspectives.
Consider the context carefully: is the situation one where guidance is sought, or is it a matter requiring a more authoritative directive? 助言する fits the former. The implication is often that the advice is based on experience or expertise, but is ultimately presented for consideration.
It can also be used in a more formal sense, like a committee advising on policy. In such cases, the advice is typically presented in a structured manner, often with supporting reasons. The key is that the 'advice' aspect remains; it’s not a binding order. This subtle distinction is crucial for effective communication in Japanese.
§ Don't confuse it with 忠告する (chūkoku suru)
Many learners, especially at the intermediate level, often mix up 助言する (jogensuru) and 忠告する (chūkoku suru). While both involve giving advice, their nuances are quite different.
- 助言する (jogensuru)
- This is a neutral and often gentle form of advice. It's about offering suggestions or guidance, usually with a positive or helpful intent. Think of it as 'counseling' or 'offering constructive ideas.' There's no strong implication of a mistake having been made, or a warning being issued.
- 忠告する (chūkoku suru)
- This carries a stronger sense of warning or admonition. It's advice given because someone is doing something wrong or might be headed for trouble. It's often more direct and can sometimes imply a certain level of disapproval. Think of it as 'advising against' or 'warning.'
Let's look at some examples to clarify:
先生が私に将来について助言してくれた。
The teacher gave me some advice about my future. (Neutral, helpful guidance)
医者が患者に禁煙するように忠告した。
The doctor advised the patient to quit smoking. (A warning, a strong recommendation against a harmful action)
§ Using the wrong particle
Another common mistake is using the wrong particle with 助言する. The person being advised usually takes the particle に (ni).
部長が私に新しいプロジェクトについて助言してくれた。
The department head advised me about the new project.
Some learners might incorrectly use を (o) or へ (e). While へ (e) can sometimes indicate direction, に (ni) is the most natural and standard particle here, indicating the recipient of the advice.
Incorrect: 部長が私を助言してくれた。(Incorrect: The department head advised *me* in a direct object sense, which doesn't fit)
Less natural: 部長が私へ助言してくれた。(Less natural, though sometimes heard. に is preferred for direct recipient of advice.)
§ Overusing it in casual conversation
While 助言する is a useful verb, it can sound a bit formal in very casual, everyday conversations. In informal settings, Japanese speakers often use simpler expressions.
More casual: アドバイスする (adobaisu suru) - using the loanword 'advice' + する (suru).
友達が私にいいアドバイスしてくれた。
My friend gave me some good advice.
Even more casual: 意見を言う (iken o iu) - to give an opinion/idea, or just offering a suggestion.
何か意見があったら言ってね。
If you have any ideas, let me know.
재미있는 사실
Many Japanese words are borrowed from Chinese, and you can often guess their meaning by understanding the individual kanji.

formal혼동하기 쉬운
Both '助言する' and '忠告する' mean 'to advise', but they have slightly different nuances. '忠告する' is often used when the advice is given to prevent someone from doing something undesirable or to correct their behavior.

医者は私に禁煙するように忠告した。 (The doctor advised me to quit smoking.)
While '勧める' also involves suggesting something, it's more about recommending or encouraging an action rather than providing counsel or guidance.

This is often confused because when you '相談する' (consult), you are seeking advice. However, '相談する' is the act of seeking advice, not giving it.

팁
Practice saying it
Try saying "助言する" (jogen suru) out loud. The 'jo' is like 'joe' and 'gen' is like 'gain'. The 'suru' is a common verb ending for actions.
Recognize kanji
The first kanji, 助, means help or assist. The second kanji, 言, means speech or word. So, literally, it's like 'help with words'.
Use with 'ni'
When you advise someone, you use the particle 'ni' (に) after the person. For example: 彼に助言する (kare ni jogen suru) - to advise him.
Common context
You often hear this in business or formal settings, or when someone is seeking guidance. It implies thoughtful and careful advice.
Distinguish from 'ososhieru'
While both involve giving information, '助言する' is specifically about offering advice or a suggestion. '教える' (oshieru) means to teach or inform.
Politeness matters
In Japanese culture, offering unsolicited advice can sometimes be seen as impolite. Be mindful of the context and relationship when using this phrase.
Use with 'koto'
You can advise about something using 'koto' (こと). For example: 将来の進路について助言する (shōrai no shinro ni tsuite jogen suru) - to advise about future career paths.
Other forms
The noun form is '助言' (jogen), meaning advice or counsel. You can say '助言をもらう' (jogen o morau) to receive advice.
Example sentence 1
先生は学生に進路について助言した。 (Sensei wa gakusei ni shinro ni tsuite jogen shita.) - The teacher advised the student about their career path.
Example sentence 2
私は彼に助言を求めた。 (Watashi wa kare ni jogen o motometa.) - I asked him for advice.
어원
From Middle Chinese 中古漢語 (trung-ko han-ngü).
원래 의미: 助 (jo): help, assist; 言 (gen): speech, word. So, to give helpful words.
Sino-Japanese (kango)문화적 맥락
In Japanese culture, direct advice is sometimes avoided. People might instead offer subtle suggestions or share their own experiences. When someone '助言する' (jogensuru), it's often done with care and respect for the recipient's feelings, aiming to support rather than to dictate.

Practice saying it
Try saying "助言する" (jogen suru) out loud. The 'jo' is like 'joe' and 'gen' is like 'gain'. The 'suru' is a common verb ending for actions.
Recognize kanji
The first kanji, 助, means help or assist. The second kanji, 言, means speech or word. So, literally, it's like 'help with words'.
Use with 'ni'
When you advise someone, you use the particle 'ni' (に) after the person. For example: 彼に助言する (kare ni jogen suru) - to advise him.
Common context
You often hear this in business or formal settings, or when someone is seeking guidance. It implies thoughtful and careful advice.
