avvises

Avvises is a rarely used plural form that appears when discussing the Italian noun avviso, which means a notice, warning, or advisory. In English-language usage, the standard loanword forms are avviso (singular) and avvisi (plural). The form avvises is uncommon and typically regarded as nonstandard or a mistaken anglicization of the Italian plural.

The term originates in Italian and is used in civic, administrative, and legal contexts. In Italy, avvisi are public notices issued by authorities, municipalities, or organizations, covering a range of communications from deadlines and obligations to public warnings. In historical writing, avvisi appear as bulletins or notices transmitted by governments or institutions to inform officials or the public about developments or instructions.

When used in English, writers typically either retain the Italian terms avviso/avvisi as proper nouns or translate the concept as notices or bulletins to avoid ambiguity. The Italian plural avvisi is the correct form in most Italian-language contexts, while avviso remains the standard singular in both Italian and many English-language references when used as a loanword.
