[Word Reference](https://www.wordreference.com/iten/avvertire) says that "avvertire" can mean "to advise", but the meaning in the corresponding example provided by WR dictionary (La maestra ha avvertito mia madre dei miei pessimi voti) is different: "to inform". Is the former meaning really possible in that verb? If I understood [Treccani](http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/avvertire/) and [Collins](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/italian-english/avvertire) well, there is no such meaning in "avvertire".
