Distribuïts

Distribuïts is a Catalan past participle and adjective formed from distribuir, meaning distributed or distributed across. It describes something that has been allocated, spread, or arranged among groups, locations, or elements. The form agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: masculine singular distribuït, feminine singular distribuïda, masculine plural distribuïts, feminine plural distribuïdes. It is written with a diaeresis over the i to show that the i is pronounced as a separate syllable rather than part of a diphthong.

In usage, distribuïts is common in technical and academic Catalan, including mathematics, statistics, computer science, and logistics. Examples include “valors distribuïts de manera uniforme” and “sistemes distribuïts en una xarxa.” The term can describe values, data, resources, or objects that have been allocated or spread across a set or area.

Origin and related terms: distribuït comes from Latin distribuere. Related Catalan terms include distribució (distribution) and sistemes distribuïts (distributed systems). The feminine forms are distribuïda and distribuïdes. Correct orthography requires the diaeresis on the i, which helps distinguish it from forms without diacritics in closely related words.
