elosztani

Elosztani is a Hungarian verb meaning to distribute, allocate, or divide something among recipients or into parts. It covers both tangible items, such as resources or goods, and abstract quantities, such as time, tasks, or opportunities. The action can refer to an everyday sharing situation as well as to more formal processes in business, administration, or logistics.

The verb is formed from the root oszt- with the prefix el-, which signals the act of distributing or separating. Related nouns include elosztás (the act of distributing, distribution) and eloszlás (distribution, especially in mathematical or statistical contexts). The infinitive ends in -ni, yielding elosztani, with the corresponding participles and derivatives such as elosztott (distributed) and elosztó (distributor or distributing device).

Conjugation of elosztani follows regular Hungarian verb patterns. For example in the present tense: én elosztom, te elosztod, ő elosztja, mi elosztjuk, ti elosztjátok, ők elosztják. Other forms include elosztottam (I distributed), elosztodtál (you distributed), and further derivatives common in everyday use. The noun forms elosztás and eloszlás are used to describe the act or the result of distribution, and elosztó can refer to a device or person that distributes.

Usage examples span daily life, management, statistics, and computing. Examples: “A cég az erőforrásokat egyenlően elosztotta a csapatok között.” “A terhelést a szerverek között elosztja a load balancer.” In mathematics, the term eloszlás is used for distribution functions, as in valószínűségi eloszlás (probability distribution).
