Dividim

Dividim is the present indicative form of the Catalan verb dividir, meaning “to divide.” It corresponds to “we divide” or “we are dividing” and is used when the subject is nosaltres (we). In Catalan conjugation, dividir is an -ir verb, and its present tense forms include jo divideixo, tu divideixes, ell divideix, nosaltres dividim, vosaltres divideixiu, ells divideixen.

Dividim also appears in phrases describing distribution or partition, such as “dividim una torta en parts iguals” (we divide a cake into equal parts) or “dividim els recursos de la ciutat” (we divide the city’s resources).

Etymology: Dividim derives from Latin dividere, and is cognate with Spanish dividir, French diviser, and Italian dividere.

Usage: It is widely used in Catalan-speaking contexts, including education, mathematics, cooking, and governance. In formal writing, the subject is often explicit as “nosaltres dividim,” but the verb form “dividim” can stand without an overt subject.
