Usage Note

Distribuzione covers everything from film distribuzione in cinemas to mail delivery and the statistical sense. The -zione ending is reliably feminine, so it always takes la. Like most abstract -zione nouns it is rarely pluralised in everyday speech.

Examples

"La distribuzione del cibo è iniziata."

Natural Translation

The food distribution has begun.

Literal Translation

The distribution of-the food is begun.
