How it's used
Often used in the context of media, such as movie trailers or television program schedules. It functions as both a verb meaning to give advance warning and a noun referring to the announcement itself. When used as a verb, it implies a formal or semi-formal declaration of future events.
Examples
Has the TV station released the trailer for the new drama yet?
He gave advance notice that prices will increase tomorrow.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean a casual heads-up between friends, as it carries a slightly more official or public tone. For informal warnings, use 提早講 or 講定.
