dijelim

Dijelim is the first-person singular present tense form of the verb dijeliti in South Slavic languages such as Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian. It expresses the act of dividing something into parts or of sharing something with others. The sense can be literal, as in cutting a cake into pieces, or figurative, as in sharing information, experiences, or responsibilities. In mathematical contexts, dijelim is used to describe a division operation, for example when dividing numbers.

Etymology and usage notes: dijeliti and its present-tense forms come from Proto-Slavic roots related to division and distribution. In standard usage, dijelim is paired with an object to indicate what is being divided or shared, for example dijelim tortu (I divide/share the cake) or dijelim iskustva s kolegom (I share my experiences with a colleague). The verb can be complemented by prepositions such as sa/s, depending on the language variety and the exact meaning (sharing with someone vs. distributing among recipients). A closely related verb is podijeliti, which often emphasizes distribution or allocation more clearly.

Forms and related terms: common present-tense forms include dijeliš (you share/divide) and dijeli (he/she shares/divides); we share is dijelimo and you plural is dijelite; they share is dijele. The root is used across related verbs and nouns, such as dijeljenje (the act of sharing or dividing) and podjela (a distribution or division).
