suddividono

Suddividono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb suddividere, which means to subdivide or partition something into smaller parts. It is a transitive verb commonly used to describe dividing a whole into components, often with the preposition in to indicate the subdivisions (for example, in tre parti, in tre zone). The form can appear with plural subjects, such as regions, texts, or projects, that are themselves being divided.

Etymology and conjugation: suddividere comes from Latin subdividere, formed by sub- (under, below) and dividere (to divide). In Italian, the prefix evolves into sud- in the current form of the verb. Suddividere is a regular -ire verb, so its present tense forms are: io suddivido, tu suddividi, lui/lei suddivide, noi suddividiamo, voi suddividete, loro suddividono. The past participle is suddiviso, and the gerund is suddividendo. The passive or reflexive construction can use si suddivide, si suddividono, or essere suddiviso/a/i/e in compound tenses.

Usage and examples: suddividono is used to describe entities that are divided into smaller units. Examples include a territory being subdivided into provinces, a complex project being split into phases, or a long document being organized into chapters. For instance, “La regione si suddivide in tre province” or “Il manuale è suddiviso in capitoli.” The term is common in administrative, geographic, educational, and planning contexts.

Related terms: dividers include dividere, ripartire, scindere. Antonyms include unire, aggregare. Suddividere emphasizes partitioning into discrete parts rather than merely separating.
