Usage Notes:

This translation corresponds closely to the English "granular" in both physical and metaphorical senses, but it's more commonly used in formal or technical Russian. When choosing "гранулярный," ensure it fits the context—opt for it in scientific writing rather than casual conversation. Grammatically, remember to inflect it according to the noun it modifies, as Russian adjectives agree in gender, number, and case. If multiple translations are available, select based on specificity: use "зернистый" for literal graininess and "гранулярный" for borrowed, precise terminology.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using "гранулярный" without proper inflection, e.g., saying "гранулярный дом" instead of "гранулярный дом" (correct, but if the noun is feminine, it should be "гранулярная квартира").

  Correct Usage: Ensure agreement, e.g., "гранулярная структура" for a feminine noun. Explanation: Russian requires adjectives to match the noun's gender and case, which English speakers often overlook.

• Error: Confusing it with "зернистый" and using it interchangeably in all contexts.

  Correct Usage: Use "гранулярный" for technical precision and "зернистый" for everyday descriptions. Explanation: This can lead to awkward phrasing; for example, "зернистый анализ" sounds unnatural compared to "гранулярный анализ."

Cultural Notes:

In Russian scientific and technological contexts, "гранулярный" reflects the influence of Western terminology, especially from English, due to globalization. It's often used in fields like computer science or economics, highlighting Russia's integration into international discourse, but it may not carry the same everyday cultural connotations as native words.
