Usage notes
- Use 'innanzi' for formal or literary contexts; 'avanti' is more common in everyday speech.
- Avoid confusing 'innanzi' (forward) with 'prima' (before in time/order); they’re not interchangeable.
- Often paired with 'a' (e.g., 'innanzi a'), but 'avanti a' is more natural in modern Italian.
