Distribuisco

Distribuisco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb distribuire, meaning to distribute or allocate. It is used to indicate that the speaker is currently distributing items, information, tasks, or resources.

The verb comes from Latin distribuere, formed by dis- (apart, away) and tribuere (to grant, allot). In Italian, distribuire belongs to a class of -ire verbs that use an isc- insertion in the present indicative for most forms.

In the present indicative, the forms are: io distribuisco, tu distribuisci, lui distribuisce, noi distribuiamo, voi distribu ite, loro distribuiscono. The -isc- pattern appears in all forms except the first-person plural and second-person plural, which are distribuiamo and distribute, respectively. This means the stem changes to include isc in the singular and in the third person singular and plural.

Usage notes: Distribuire covers a range of allocation tasks, from physical goods to information or responsibilities. Examples: Io distribuisco volantini agli spettatori; Lei distribuisce i compiti tra i membri del gruppo; Noi distribuiamo risorse in base alle esigenze. The form distributes both concrete objects and abstract items like time or opportunities.

Related terms include distribuzione (distribution), distributore (distributor), and ridistribuire (to redistribute). The word is common in logistics, event planning, marketing, and any context involving apportionment.
