    • Morphology is the study of word structure and how words are formed.
    • Morphemes are the smallest meaningful units of language.
    • Words can be broken down into morphemes, which are either base words or affixes.
    • Base words are the core meaning of the word, while affixes are added to the base word to modify its meaning or grammatical function.
    • Affixes can be prefixes (added to the beginning of a word) or suffixes (added to the end of a word).

    • hentede is broken down into the base word hent and the suffix ede.
