How to say "evenly" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • adverbFor 'evenly' meaning without unevenness or patchiness: spreading, mixing, or applying something so that no part is left irregular. Usually written in kana alone.
  • 一律にいちりつに
    adverbFor 'evenly' meaning uniformly across the board: the same rule, rate, or treatment applied to everyone or everything alike, often with a hint of 'indiscriminately', regardless of differences.
  • 等しくひとしく
    adverbFor 'evenly' meaning equally: dividing, giving, or treating each person or part in the same measure, so that all receive the same amount or are treated alike.

All three are less common choices: use 「むらなく」 for evenness with no patchy variation, 「一律に」 for uniform across-the-board treatment, and 「等しく」 for equal shares or equal measure.
