To remark that / faire remarquer: “advertir”?

Question

What about that word now? "Advertir"

I always wondered how to translate "faire remarquer" from french or "to remark that" (sthg, to sb) from english, in spanish.

Would "Advertir" do the job?

Where I come from, "advertir" is more like "to give a warning". I think either "hacer notar" or "destacar" feels more natural.

Ejemplo/Example: "Quisiera destacar que esto nunca antes había sucedido."

The word "advertir" translates most closely to "to warn." "Notar" or "mencionar" would be my preference.

"Notar", "hacer notar" or even "remarcar" are better translations than "advertir".

	How can you use "remarcar" in this context? "Les hago remarcar que ..." ? – Sebas Aug 24 '12 at 13:03
	Like any other verb: "Les remarco que..." or "me gustaría remarcar/remarcarles" in a formal context. – JoulSauron♦ Aug 24 '12 at 14:31
