Common Errors:

• Error: Forgetting to decline the adjective, e.g., saying "в технологический институт" instead of "в технологическом институте" (for prepositional case).

  Correct: в технологическом институте. Explanation: Russian requires case agreement; the incorrect form ignores the prepositional case, making the sentence grammatically incorrect.

• Error: Using "Технический" when "Технологический" is more appropriate, e.g., "технический интернет" instead of "технологический интернет".

  Correct: технологический интернет. Explanation: "Технический" implies basic technical aspects, while "Технологический" better conveys digital innovation; this misuse can lead to confusion in context.
