Cranberry morpheme

Okay, imagine you are playing with some building blocks. Every block has a special meaning, like "apple" or "banana."

Now, let's say you have a special block that can change the meaning of the other blocks it is used with. This special block is called a "morpheme."

The cranberry morpheme is a special type of morpheme. It is like a tiny piece of a word that doesn't really mean anything on its own, but when you put it together with other words, it changes the meaning of the whole word.

For example, think about the word "cranberry." The "cran" part doesn't really mean anything on its own, but when you put it together with "berry" it creates a new word with a specific meaning.

That's the cranberry morpheme in action! It's like a little puzzle piece that helps create new words with specific meanings.
