Erklärung
Ladder: te conviene comparar precios (practical tip) → deberías consultarlo con un abogado (clear advice) → yo que tú no firmaría (personal stance) → tenés que ir al médico (urgent).
Recommendation verbs trigger subjunctive: te sugiero que esperes, te aconsejo que lo leas entero. Softening intro: si me permitís un consejo...
Match the form to how strong your advice is: te conviene + infinitive for a practical tip, deberías + infinitive for a clear recommendation, yo que tú / yo en tu lugar + conditional to stake a personal stance, and the recommendation verbs (recomendar, aconsejar, sugerir) + que + subjunctive for explicit counsel. Save tienes que for genuine urgency.
