吝啬 can be translated as "stingy" or "miserly" in English. The word comes from the Middle Chinese term "lin-dzat" which is derived from the Old Chinese word "lintr̥at" meaning "little" or "small". Here are a few examples of how you can use "stingy" or "miserly" in a sentence:

My uncle is so stingy that he never buys anything for himself, let alone anyone else.

Some people are so miserly that they refuse to spend money on anything unless it's absolutely necessary.

I can't believe you're being so stingy with the pizza. There's plenty to go around.
