splittar

Splittar is the present tense form of the Swedish verb splitta, meaning to split or divide something into parts. The term is used in both literal contexts, such as splitting wood or stone, and figurative ones, such as dividing tasks, resources, or data. In everyday Swedish, people might say “vi splittar notan” to mean “we split the bill.” In computing and data handling, splitta is used for actions like splitting strings or datasets, for example “splitta en sträng.”

Splitta is a loanword from English split, adapted into Swedish with the infinitive ending -a. Splittar is the present tense form; other forms include splittade (past) and splittad (past participle). In formal contexts, more traditional verbs such as dela or uppdela may be preferred.

Common usage spans several domains, including woodworking, construction, logistics, programming, and finance. The form splittar remains common in spoken Swedish, especially among younger speakers and technical communities, while in formal writing splitta or dela are often favored.
