Usage Notes:

'Квантифицировать' directly corresponds to 'quantify' in technical English contexts but is less flexible in everyday Russian; prefer 'измерить количественно' for broader use. It's formal, so avoid in casual speech. When choosing between translations, use 'квантифицировать' for precise scientific terms and 'измерить' for general measurement. Grammatically, ensure verb agreement with subject in number and gender, as Russian verbs inflect based on these factors.

Common Errors:

• Error: Incorrectly conjugating 'квантифицировать' as if it were a simple verb, e.g., saying "я квантифицирует" instead of "я квантифицирую". Correct: Use the proper first-conjugation endings. Explanation: Russian verbs require precise person and tense agreement; English speakers often overlook this due to less inflection in English.
• Error: Using 'квантифицировать' in informal contexts, e.g., "Я квантифицирую покупки" (for everyday shopping). Correct: Say "Я подсчитываю покупки". Explanation: This word sounds overly technical and unnatural in daily life, leading to awkward phrasing.
