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."

Natural Translation

The postman delivers the mail every morning.
