Notas de uso
- Use 'intorno' for physical surroundings or approximate time. For 'around' as in 'approximately,' prefer 'circa' or 'all’incirca.'
- Avoid confusing 'intorno' with 'attorno.' Both mean 'around,' but 'attorno' often implies movement or encircling.
- Common in informal speech. In formal writing, 'intorno a' may sound more polished than standalone 'intorno.'
