Usage notes

This verb 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 (where "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.
