告知

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 告知 is read as こくち and is a noun and する verb for formally announcing or notifying people of a schedule, rule, or fact.
• Basic usage: A closing day being announced appears in 休館日が告知される, while notifying participants of a change appears in 変更を参加者に告知する.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Content and recipient
  • The information announced is the object, while the person or group receiving it is marked as the recipient.
• Difference from 通知
  • The meanings are close, but this word also readily suits advance public announcements rather than only a notice sent to a particular recipient.
