Questions & Answers about Мы делим хлеб на всех.
Why do we use на here instead of между (between/among) to mean 'among everyone'?
In Russian, when you divide or share something into portions for a group, you use the verb делить (to divide/share) followed by the preposition на plus the Accusative case. You would use между (with the Instrumental case) for something shared conceptually between people, but to physically divide an object into shares, делить на is the standard phrase.
What case is всех in this sentence?
It is in the Accusative case, plural. The preposition на here takes the Accusative to show the target of the division. Because все (everyone/all) refers to animate people, its Accusative plural form matches its Genitive plural form, which is всех.
This lesson is about short-form past passive participles. How would we rewrite this active sentence to say 'The bread is shared among everyone'?
We would take the perfective verb разделить (to divide up) to form the short passive participle разделён. Because хлеб is a masculine noun, we use the masculine short form: Хлеб разделён на всех.
Why doesn't the word хлеб change its ending if it is the direct object being shared?
As the direct object, хлеб is indeed in the Accusative case. However, because it is an inanimate masculine noun, its Accusative form looks exactly the same as its Nominative (dictionary) form.
