Suggested minimum correction -

Okay,Tanks for your advsing,I will do it once a year.

Yes, the usage of 建议 is right.
And the second part of the sentence sounds not naturally,skylee's suggestion is good.

Could someone explain the difference between 建议 and 劝 or 劝告?










skylee -

建議 is to suggest / propose something.

勸 / 勸告 is to persuade someone to do something that is considered good, or to disuade someone
from doing something that is not good.

I see. In one textbook, I saw the translation of 劝 as "to advise" and Kingsoft Powerword 2007
dictionary also has this meaning. Although it also includes "persuade".

Does that mean that when you want to use "to advise" in Chinese sentence, it is safer to use
建议?

建议?

Depending on the context, I would think so. But surely you understand sometimes there is no
word-to-word exact match.

I often use the word "advise" at work, which is an English environment. Like we advise the staff
to do something, the staff is advised to improve their performance, to issue advisory letter to
the staff, etc. I am not sure if I have to say the same things in Chinese what term I should use.
It is not really 勸告. It is more like "to instruct" but I say it in a nice way. In such case I
think 建議 is much more appropriate.










madizi -

I see. Thank you Skylee for explanation.
