When you exhort someone, you try very hard to push them to do something — often something you think is right, needed, or good for them. It is stronger than a quiet ask, and more speech-like than a private hint: you are urging, almost preaching a little. A priest may exhort people to be kind; a coach may exhort a team not to give up; a leader may exhort a country to stay calm. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb. In books, sermons, and newspapers it still sounds natural; at the dinner table most people would say urge, beg, or tell someone they really should. The usual pattern is exhort someone to do something. You can exhort a crowd, not only one person. It almost always points toward action, not toward a mere feeling.
