Bedeutung
To divide and distribute food.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Ley Rider' is a famous law in Spain that changed how people who 'reparten comida' are employed, giving them more rights as staff members rather than freelancers. In Mexico, 'repartir comida' is common during 'posadas' (Christmas parties), where traditional foods like tamales are distributed to all guests by the hosts. The term 'delivery' is used for the service, but 'repartidor' is the person. During economic crises, 'comedores populares' (community kitchens) are vital for 'repartir comida' to the neighborhood. In many Colombian cities, 'repartidores' on small motorcycles are a constant sight. It's a very common first job for young people and immigrants.
The 'Among' Rule
Always use 'entre' if you are dividing food among a group of people. 'Repartir entre nosotros'.
Delivery vs. Sharing
Remember that 'repartir' is about the movement of food, not the enjoyment of it. Don't say 'repartir' for a romantic dinner!
