1
enter a country by military force
To enter another country with soldiers in order to fight and control it.
Padron ng paggamit:
to invade [a country/territory]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say "invade into a country" or "invade to a country". The correct pattern is "invade a country" without a preposition. Also, "invade" is usually used for large, organized forces, not for individual people in everyday arguments.
Mga kasingkahulugan
attack (More general; does not always suggest entering and taking control of land, while "invade" strongly implies crossing into another area.)
Mga kasalungat
withdraw (Refers to pulling soldiers out of an area, the opposite of sending them in to invade.)

intrude on privacy or personal space
To go into someone’s private life, space, or time in a way they do not want.
Padron ng paggamit:
to invade [someone's privacy/personal space]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say "invade to my privacy"; the correct pattern is "invade my privacy" with no preposition. They may also confuse "invade" with "interrupt", but "invade" suggests going too far into private areas, not just stopping an activity.
Mga kasingkahulugan
intrude on (Very close in meaning, but slightly softer; "invade" often sounds stronger and more negative.)
Mga kasalungat
respect (To respect someone's privacy or space is the opposite of invading it.)

enter a place in large numbers
To go into a place in a big group, in a way that is not wanted.
Padron ng paggamit:
to invade [a place]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may overuse this sense and say things like "students invaded the classroom" when they simply mean "entered". "Invade" should suggest that the number is large and that their presence is a problem or not welcome.
Mga kasingkahulugan
overrun (Suggests being filled or covered by too many people or things; "invade" highlights the unwanted entry more strongly.)
Mga kasalungat
leave (To go out of a place, the basic opposite of going in and filling it.)

spread into and occupy something
To move into and spread through part of a body, place, or thing, usually in a harmful way.
Padron ng paggamit:
to invade [tissue/an area]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use this technical sense in casual contexts where a simpler verb like "enter" or "spread" is more natural. In medical or scientific writing, however, "invade" is preferred when something harmful spreads into tissue or an area.
Mga kasingkahulugan
penetrate (Focuses on entering; "invade" more strongly suggests spreading and taking over in a harmful way.)
Mga kasalungat
recede (Describes a disease or harmful process moving back or becoming smaller, the opposite of invading further.)
