pasiskirstyti

Pasiskirstyti is a Lithuanian verb that means to distribute oneself or to split into groups, teams, or locations. It is commonly used when organizing people or resources, such as assigning participants to groups, allocating tasks, or spreading equipment. The action is reflexive, indicating that the subject participates in the distribution, often as part of a planned arrangement. In everyday use, pasiskirstyti emphasizes the outcome of a division, rather than the act of dividing alone.

Origin and aspect: The verb is formed from the root skirstyti (to divide) with the prefix pa-, which adds sense of completion or distribution. Pasiskirstyti is typically treated as a perfective verb, focusing on the result of having distributed or dispersed, whereas the related imperfective form skirstyti refers to the ongoing process of distribution.

Usage examples: Renginio metu dalyviai pasiskirstė į dvi komandas. Atsakomybės pasiskirstė tarp kelių darbuotojų, užtikrinant darbo našumą.
