Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes think "princely" always means "royal" or "about a prince." In money contexts, it usually means the amount is very large or generous, not that the money comes from a prince. Also, do not use it with negative things like "a princely problem"; it is used for impressive, positive amounts.
