1. Understanding the meaning: Before using the word pittance, it is important to have a clear understanding of its definition. Familiarize yourself with its synonyms, such as a paltry sum, a mere fraction, or a token amount. This will help you grasp the concept and use it appropriately.
2. Contextual usage: When using the word pittance, it is crucial to consider the context in which it is being used.
