Usage Note

Suddividere is a compound of sub- + dividere and follows the same irregular conjugation as dividere (past participle suddiviso). It implies dividing something already large into smaller parts, often used in bureaucratic, urban-planning, or academic contexts (suddividere un territorio/un capitolo). The auxiliary is avere.

Examples

"Il professore ha suddiviso la classe in gruppi."

Natural Translation
