This word can also mean 'for each unit'. Think of it like saying 'per person' or 'per item'. It is used for prices and rules. For example, 'one ticket per person'.
This is different from "~node" or "~kara". Those are for everyday reasons. This is also different from "~tame". That is formal too. But "~nitsuki" is only for short, official messages. You see it on signs. You see it in official papers. You do not use it for personal reasons.
Don't use this when you want to give a personal excuse. For example, you cannot say "I am tired, so I will go home." You must use a noun before it. This phrase is for facts, not feelings.
