• The word advice is used in the sense of ‘counsel.’ The word suggestion is used in the sense of ‘giving an idea.’
• It is interesting to note that the two words advice and suggestion are nouns.
• You give an advice based on your experience and considering the situation. However, you give someone a suggestion at the moment by letting them know what your think. This can be based on experience or not.
• When someone presents a suggestion to another, the other party has the freedom to follow it or not. This is because it is just an idea. However, when someone presents an advice to someone else, generally the receiving party is expected to follow that. You can choose not to follow.
• The verb form of advice is advise. The verb form of suggestion is suggest.
These are the differences between the two nouns advice and suggestion.
