Altogether समानार्थी | कोलिन्स अंग्रेज़ी पर्यायकोश

The single-word form altogether should not be used as an alternative to all together because the meanings are very distinct. Altogether is an adverb meaning `absolutely' or, in a different sense, `in total'. All together, however, means `all at the same time' or `all in the same place'. The distinction can be seen in the following example: altogether there were six or seven families sharing the flat's facilities means `in total', while there were six or seven families all together in one flat, means `all crowded in together'.
