Definition
分割 (fēn gē) means 'to partition, to divide' — it emphasizes physically or abstractly cutting something into parts. It is more concrete than 划分 (huà fēn), which focuses on demarcation or classification. Unlike 分裂 (fēn liè), which implies rupture or disintegration, 分割 is a neutral act of dividing.
