Usage notes
- Use distribuzione for logistics, statistics, cinema, or retail. For handing out items directly, consegna or recapito is often more natural.
- In business, rete di distribuzione means distribution network. Don't confuse it with distribuzione itself, which is broader than just transport.
- For assigning resources, allocazione is more technical; distribuzione sounds more general or practical.
