Examples

, .

The one who knows the language has a great advantage.

.

The new method gives a clear advantage.

?

Do you see any advantage in that plan?

Mind the hat. The ĝ here is the French -age ending arriving as -aĝo, and it is not the Esperanto suffix --, which has a different letter and would make avantaĵo, a nonsense word. The opposite is regular: o, a disadvantage.
