The Meaning of Admonish



Admonish

If you want to tell someone
Off for something that they've done
In a gentle but also firm way,
The scolding that you are giving
Is of course admonishing
Although it's also true that the word may

Be used when you are warning
Advising even cautioning
Someone against something to avoid,
As in, "Dear I think it's best
You burn or throw away that vest,
It's ghastly and leaves me feeling annoyed!"
