Usage notes
- Use 'dividere' for splitting objects or groups, not abstract ideas (use 'separare' instead).
- Common mistake: Forgetting to agree past participle with direct object (e.g., 'le ho divise').
- Auxiliary is 'avere' unless used reflexively (e.g., 'ci siamo divisi').
- past participle diviso
