By Floyd Liam • Updated October 4, 2026

Alexa

Alexa is the Italian name for the virtual assistant developed by Amazon.

This term refers specifically to the Amazon virtual assistant.

Did you know?

The name Alexa shares a root with the Greek word alexein, meaning 'to defend' or 'to protect'.
Italian speakers often use the phrase Alexa, basta to stop the device, which literally means 'Alexa, enough'.
In many Italian households, people refer to the device simply as 'l'Alexa', adding a feminine article because the name is perceived as a feminine proper noun.

Examples in context

Puoi chiedere ad Alexa.
You can ask Alexa.
Alexa, che tempo fa oggi?
Alexa, how is the weather today?

Example conversation

Francesco and Chiara are in the living room.

Francesco

Chiara, puoi attivare Alexa per me?
Chiara, can you activate Alexa for me?
Chiara

Certo, cosa vuoi chiedere ad Alexa?
Sure, what do you want to ask Alexa?
Francesco

Voglio sapere l'orario del treno.
I want to know the train schedule.
Chiara

Ok, chiedile pure adesso.
Okay, go ahead and ask her now.
