Usage notes
- Use altrove for an unspecified different place; use da un'altra parte for a more concrete or contrastive "somewhere else."
- It is a single word. Do not write al trove or confuse it with altro.
- Common in both speech and writing, but slightly more neutral/formal than fuori or via in casual contexts.
