Notas de uso
- More formal and longer than insieme or allo stesso tempo; common in writing, instructions, and technical contexts.
- Usually modifies the whole action: can appear before or after the verb, but avoid placing it awkwardly between auxiliaries and participles.
- Do not confuse with contemporaneo, the adjective/noun meaning contemporary; contemporaneamente is only the adverb.
