Nelida Kreer Aug 7, 2008:
Also, "desagregar" is akin to "desglosar", or "discriminar", as has been suggested, whereas "allocated", while correct in context, would be "distribuir" or "adjudicar". We are called to translate and not re-draft.
Nelida Kreer Aug 7, 2008:
Breakdown. Used it all the time with our Boston HO when I worked at the bank.
jack_speak Aug 7, 2008:
Maria, you are correct that breaking out can also refer to a skin condition. But that's just one of the meanings.
Maria Ramon Aug 7, 2008:
If you would use "broken out" it sounds really like it got the measels; something breaking out doesn't sound too good to me, like I said, it is like it broke out with a rash or something.
Lisa McCarthy Aug 7, 2008:
In the UK 'breakdown' is very commonly used, not just in informal situations:

"the agency’s budget with actual spending patterns which are <<broken out as follows:>> Professional Services ($7,500); IT Professional Services 7,500; Other Services & Supplies (1,574)"

jack_speak Aug 7, 2008:
I would definately NOT use breakdown because it is informal. It is more formal to say "broken out as follows" or "allocated as follows"
Lisa McCarthy Aug 7, 2008:
I would definitley use 'breakdown' here, as it suits the context best.
Maria Ramon Aug 7, 2008:
Thank you, María Eugenia; no, when I say "se discrimina" that is what I heard and saw, mainly when I lived in Colombia and Venezuela. In different countries we use different words; which is another topic altogether!
María Eugenia Wachtendorff Aug 7, 2008:
I agree with María, "breakdown" is it. On the other hand, María, what you must have seen is "se desglosa," meaning "breaks down."
Again, this term is in the Kudoz glossary :)
Maria Ramon Aug 7, 2008:
I would use "breakdown"; in Spanish I have most often seen "se discrimina".

Another option is... "Broken out as follows:"

--------------------------------------------------

Note, due to apparent confusion: In order to use "breakdown", one would have to write something like:

"distributed according to the following breakdown", which is much more wordy than the simple and concise form:
"broken down as follows"

--------------------------------------------------

broken down = broken out -- In this case they are equivalent.

Peer comment(s):
agree María Eugenia Wachtendorff : Your suggestion certainly works well in this case, Jack, but I disagree with your note to the asker. Both the verb (to break down) and noun (breakdown) are commonly used in financial/accounting jargon.

Thanks! // Yes, thanks again, but I didn't say breakdown is not common, but that it is less formal than "broken down." We are talking about legal/contractual language, after all.

breakdown

Example: All approvers are responsible for reviewing, auditing and approving Expense Reports, which will provide a ***breakdown*** of all the transactions (i.e. "air tickets", "housing", "food and beverage", etc.)
Merriam Webster: the process of decomposing e: ***division into categories*** : classification; also : an account analyzed into categories.
I agree with Niki-K's comments.
