Usage notes
- Use campo for open land or sports fields; prato is grassy lawn/meadow, and terreno is more general land or plot.
- For school subjects or areas of study, Italian often prefers campo di studi, settore, or ambito, not always a direct campo translation.
- In phone context, essere senza campo means having no signal. You also hear prendere campo less often than avere campo.
