Advice and advise are often confused. Advice is a noun, a recommendation about what to do.
Advise is a verb, to recommend something. They cannot be used interchangeably. To know

noun (a "something"), use advice; if it is acting as a verb (something someone is doing), use
advise.

the word to mean being deprived of or unable to find something. Remember, you lose one o
and you get a satisfying "oo" when you loosen your tight belt.
