Ambiguity in giving suggesting and asking for suggestions?


When giving/asking for advice using a conditional (Such as たら) can there be
ambiguity as to if the speaker is giving or asking for advice?

For example

> 1.) アルバイトを探したらいいですか？

Could the above sentence share the dual meaning of "Should I look for a part
time job?" (Asking for advice) and "How about you look for a part time job?"
(Giving advice) while leaving the actual interpretation to the context of the
conversation? Or do they just simply mean one or the other?

> 2.) アルバイトを探したらいいですよ

I'm assuming changing the sentence final particle to よ like in the sentence
above would clear up this ambiguity by making the suggestion obvious and blunt
is this correct?

> 3.) アルバイトを探したらどうですか？
>
> 4.) アルバイトを探したら？

Also, is there ambiguity when following the conditional with a question word
(I.E.どう) or simply ending with たら and a questioning intonation?




1.) アルバイトを探したらいいですか only means "Should I look for a part time job?". ("How
about you look for a part time job" can be translated to アルバイトを探したら **いかが**
ですか？)

2.) アルバイトを探したらいいです（よ） can mean (1) "You should look for a part time job", (2)
"I'll allow it if you look for a part time job". Use of よ doesn't depend on
which the sentence means.

3.4.) アルバイトを探したら？ is, in most cases, just an omission of アルバイトを探したらどうですか？ but
you can say it to mean "if you look for a part time job, then what to do?".
