§Grammar and usage
Uncountable nouns such as advice, information and furniture take a partitive when we count them, so we say 'a piece of advice' (not 'an advice').
Advice, information और furniture जैसे uncountable nouns को गिनने के लिए partitive लगाया जाता है, इसलिए 'a piece of advice' सही है ('an advice' गलत है)।
