" Some advice" and "piece of advice" the same?

Hi,
If you say A piece of advice, it is more specific.

Simply saying 'Give me advice' in English would not be rude, but it would certainly sound rather abrupt.... "Would you give me *some* advice about...[your question/topic]' sounds much better.
I would also have to say that to ask for a 'piece of advice' would be a very unusual and non-standard way of making the request. |
