to share out

Usage Note

Repartir covers several distribution senses: handing out leaflets (repartir folletos), delivering post (repartir el correo), and dividing something among people (repartir las ganancias). The noun reparto means both 'distribution' and 'cast' of a film. Do not confuse with compartir (to share together with someone), which implies joint use rather than division.

Examples

"El cartero reparte el correo cada mañana."
