Usage notes
- Most often appears in fixed expressions like andare a spasso, portare a spasso, and a spasso; less common as a standalone noun.
- Andare a spasso usually means strolling around, not specifically 'having fun.' For general enjoyment, divertimento is often clearer.
- Portare a spasso means taking someone or a dog out for a walk; not used for taking someone on a trip.
