It is typically used in formal, technical, or academic settings rather than casual conversation. When translating from English, ensure the context is clear—e.g., in architecture, it might relate to physical design, while in sociology, it could mean organizational frameworks. If multiple translations exist, choose "структурно" for concise, adverbial expressions; otherwise, opt for phrases like "по структуре" for more detailed explanations. Grammatically, it functions as an adverb and can modify verbs or adjectives without changing form.

• Commonly paired with verbs like "организовать" (to organize) or "проанализировать" (to analyze).
• Avoid overusing in spoken Russian; it may sound overly technical in everyday dialogue.

Common Errors:

English learners often confuse "структурно" with the adjective "структурный," leading to incorrect sentence structures. For example:

• Error: *Структурный здание было усилено. (Incorrectly using the adjective as if it were an adverb.)
• Correct: Структурно здание было усилено. (Here, "структурно" properly modifies the verb.)

Explanation: Russian adverbs like "структурно" do not agree with nouns, so always use it in its base form when describing manner or state.

• Another error: Over-translating as "в структурной манере," which is unnecessarily wordy when "структурно" suffices.
