How it's used
Focuses on the formal or official distribution of resources, funds, or information to a group. It carries a sense of authority or structured process, making it common in news reports or administrative contexts rather than casual conversation between friends.
Examples
The government will distribute subsidies to families in need.
When will you disseminate this news to everyone?

to disseminate news
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 派, which is the everyday, informal way to say distribute or hand out items like flyers or snacks. Using 發放 for casual situations can sound overly stiff or bureaucratic.
