| Phrase | on pitch |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "on pitch" means in tune, or singing a note as it should be sung, not too high (sharp) or low (flat): "Leslie doesn't sing on pitch, but she thinks she does." Someone with a "high-/low-pitched" voice speaks in a high/low voice, like a soprano/bass: "Why do little girls have such high-pitched voices?" When talking about a roof, the "pitch" is the angle of the roof: "When roofers work on a roof with a steep pitch, they have to use special ropes and harnesses." When talking about a boat, the "pitch" is the up and down movement: "The pitch of the ship made Hans feel sick." Finally, if something is "pitch-black," it is very dark: "That night, there wasn't any moonlight and the sky was pitch-black." |
