Be mindful of context: use it in formal or technical settings to avoid confusion with broader morphology.

Example: Incorrect - "Морфология изучает звуки" (Morphology studies sounds); Correct - "Морфемика изучает морфемы" (Morphemics studies morphemes). Explanation: "Морфология" encompasses more than just morphemes, so precision prevents miscommunication.

• Error: Incorrect inflection, e.g., using nominative "морфемика" in genitive contexts. Correct: In genitive, say "изучения морфемики" instead of "изучения морфемика". Explanation: Russian nouns decline, and failing to do so can make sentences grammatically incorrect.
