Contexte culturel
The 'Ciocia Dobra Rada' (Auntie Good Advice) is a common cultural trope for someone who gives unwanted advice. Giving advice is often a sign of 'troska' (care) rather than interference. There is a proverb: 'Dobra rada jest w cenie' (Good advice is valuable). In business, 'dobra rada' is often replaced by 'feedback' (loanword) or 'uwagi' (comments).
Count your advice!
Remember that 'rada' is countable. Say 'dwie rady' for two pieces of advice.
Watch the gender
Never say 'dobry rada'. It's always feminine: 'dobra rada'.
