Morphem Glossary of terms

A Morphem is the smallest grammatical unit that carries meaning in a word.

Detailed Explanation

Morpheme can be roots, which contain the main meaning, or affixes, which modify or add information. In German, they are crucial for the formation of compound words and grammatical inflection.

They can be free (able to stand alone) or bound (must be attached to other morphemes).
