La ripartizione delle spese segue i millesimi.

La is the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.

It is used because ripartizione is:

• feminine
• singular

So:

• la ripartizione = the allocation / the division / the apportionment

In Italian, articles are used more often than in English, so la sounds completely natural here.

Ripartizione means allocation, distribution, or apportionment.

In this sentence, it refers to the way expenses are divided among different people, usually in a building or condominium context.

So la ripartizione delle spese is not just a general division of expenses, but more specifically the way the expenses are allocated.

Delle means of the and is a contraction of:

• di = of
• le = the (feminine plural)

So:

• delle spese = of the expenses

The full phrase is:

• la ripartizione delle spese = the allocation of the expenses

Italian often uses this noun + di + article + noun structure where English may be a bit more flexible.

Spese is the plural of spesa.

Here it is plural because it refers to expenses / costs in general, not just one single expense.

Very often in Italian, financial outgoings are expressed in the plural:

• le spese = expenses
• le spese condominiali = condominium/building expenses

So plural is the normal choice here.

Segue is the third-person singular form of the verb seguire, which usually means to follow.

Here:

• la ripartizione = singular subject
• so the verb must also be singular
• therefore: segue

Literally:

• La ripartizione delle spese segue i millesimi
• The allocation of expenses follows the thousandths

In more natural English, that usually means:

• The expenses are allocated according to the millesimal shares

In Italian, seguire is often used in a broader sense than English follow.

Here it means something like:

• to be based on
• to follow the criteria of
• to be determined according to

So segue i millesimi means:

• is based on the millesimi
• follows the millesimal shares
• is calculated according to the millesimi

This is very natural Italian, even if the most literal English version sounds a bit unusual.

I millesimi literally means the thousandths, but in this context it usually refers to millesimi condominiali.

These are the fractional shares used in Italian apartment buildings or condominiums to divide common expenses among owners. Each apartment is assigned a value out of 1000, and expenses are often split according to those values.

So i millesimi here does not usually mean random mathematical thousandths. It refers to a specific legal/property concept.

I is the masculine plural definite article, meaning the.

It is used because:

• millesimo is masculine
• here it is plural: millesimi

So:

• il millesimo = the thousandth / the millesimal share
• i millesimi = the thousandths / the millesimal shares

Yes. A very common alternative would be:

• La ripartizione delle spese avviene secondo i millesimi.
• Le spese sono ripartite secondo i millesimi.

Secondo i millesimi means according to the millesimi.

Compared with that:

• segue i millesimi is slightly more direct and compact
• secondo i millesimi may feel a bit more explicit to learners

Both are natural, though the exact choice depends on style and context.

Because seguire can take a direct object in Italian.

So:

• seguire qualcosa = to follow something

That is why the sentence says:

• segue i millesimi

and not:

• segue ai millesimi
• segue secondo i millesimi
  unless the sentence is rephrased with a different structure.

So grammatically, i millesimi is the direct object of segue.

The given order is the most neutral and natural one:

• La ripartizione delle spese segue i millesimi.

Italian word order is somewhat flexible, but this version is standard because it clearly goes:

• subject: la ripartizione delle spese
• verb: segue
• object: i millesimi

Other orders are possible only in special contexts for emphasis, but they would sound less neutral.

Yes, it sounds fairly formal and administrative.

Words like:

• ripartizione
• spese
• millesimi

are common in legal, property, condominium, and accounting contexts.

In everyday speech, someone might say something simpler depending on context, but this sentence is perfectly normal in notices, regulations, contracts, or condominium documents.

Usually, no.

Although repartition exists in English, it is much less common in everyday use and can sound overly technical or unnatural in many contexts.

Better translations here are:

• allocation
• distribution
• apportionment
• division

So the most natural English idea is:

• The expenses are allocated according to the millesimal shares.
