Usage notes
- The verb ohjata is often translated as "advise" by Finns although this is almost always incorrect. A consultant advises a customer or a person in a position of authority (for which neuvoa is used, almost never ohjata), whereas ohjata is used to describe a person in a position of authority telling someone else how to do something or what to do.
