Indistintamente

Indistintamente is an adverb used in Portuguese and Spanish that means “without distinction” or “indiscriminately.” It indicates that something applies equally to all cases, people, or options, without consideration of category, type, or personal characteristics.

It originates from the adjective indistinto (indistinct) with the adverbial suffix -mente; in both languages the form is identical: indistintamente.

In practice, indistintamente appears in legal, administrative, academic, and media contexts to indicate equal application. It can describe distribution, payment, selection, or evaluation carried out without bias or preference for any subgroup.

Examples:

Spanish: Las ayudas serán otorgadas indistintamente a todas las personas registradas.

Portuguese: Os pagamentos serão efetuados indistintamente a todos os trabalhadores.
