Usage notes

  • Usually takes avere in compound tenses: ha invaso, not è invaso, except as adjective-like participle in passive contexts.
  • For military or territorial contexts, invadere is standard; for entering a room or place physically, entrare or irrompere may sound more natural.
  • Often used figuratively with spaces, media, or emotions: invadere il mercato, invadere la privacy, invadere lo schermo.
  • past participle invaso
