    小遣い: pocket money. The Japanese noun '小遣い (こづかい)' refers to a small amount of money given regularly, typically to children or family members, for personal expenses. It is often used in the context of allowance or spending money. For example: I received pocket money from my parents「親から小遣いをもらった」(おやからこづかいをもらった). I spent all my pocket money on snacks「小遣いを全部お菓子に使った」(こづかいをぜんぶおかしにつかった). The word can also imply a sense of independence or responsibility in managing one's own finances, even if the amount is small.

    少々: slightly. The Japanese adverb '少々 (しょうしょう)' means 'slightly' or 'a little'. It is often used to indicate a small degree or amount of something. This word is commonly used in polite or formal contexts, such as in restaurants or shops, to make requests or describe quantities. For example: Please wait a moment「少々お待ちください」(しょうしょうおまちください). Add a little salt「少々塩を加えてください」(しょうしょうしおをくわえてください). It can also be used to downplay a situation or request, making it sound less demanding or significant.
