Usage Note

Invadenza describes the quality of invading someone else's space or affairs without being invited — nosiness or presumptuousness. It is slightly formal; in everyday speech Italians often say essere invadente (adjective) rather than use the noun. The related adjective invadente means 'intrusive' or 'overbearing'.

Examples

"La sua invadenza infastidisce tutti."
