Qu significa aconsejarles?

I know that aconsejar means to advise, but what does aconsejarles mean? ~thanks to whom ever can help!

I would translate the phrase, 'They trust (have faith in) you; you should counsel them well'. It is also OK to use 'advise'. So, aconsejarles is 'to counsel them' or 'to advise them'.

Se puede añadir que les es el pronombre átono de tercera persona del plural, que puede sustituir al objeto directo masculino personal y al objeto indirecto.

En el caso del infinitivo y del gerundio aparece pospuesto: advertirles, advirtiéndoles.

En el caso de las formas personales aparece antepuesto: les advertí, les advierto.

Advertir no es lo mismo que aconsejar, pero funciona gramaticalmente igual.

Bueno, supongo que queda claro, pero, se puede aconsejarles bien y se puede aconsejarles mal, por mucho que confíen en uno.
