Usage notes
- More formal and stronger than subito in many contexts; common in writing, instructions, and customer service.
- Usually placed after the verb: Vieni immediatamente. Before the verb is possible for emphasis, but less neutral.
- Do not use it for English 'currently'; for 'now/at present', use adesso or attualmente depending on context.
