Definition
分担 (fēn dān) means to share burdens like work, costs, or responsibilities, dividing them among people. It differs from 分享 (fēn xiǎng), which shares positive things (happiness, food, experiences), and from 卸 (xiè), which removes or offloads a responsibility instead of taking on a portion jointly.
