Declare the taste funny (5)
I believe the answer is:
state
'declare' is the definition.
(I know that state is a type of advise)
'taste funny' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'taste' is an anagram of 'STATE'.
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Pomp; nation" , "Speak" , "Specify condition" , "Condition of country." , "Claim" .)
