Thealkalies have 'OH' ions so they form water but Lewis bases may form other cations as ammonia forms ammonium ion, alcohols , ethers form oxonium ions and several other ions may form.

How can a base act like water?

Because water is amphoteric and acts like a Bronsted-Lowry base when mixed with an acid, it will gain a proton and produce hydronium. This is just as a base gains a proton and forms a conjugate acid.

Is ammonia a weak acid?

Ammonia typically acts as a weak base. In most acid-base reactions involving ammonia, the nitrogen atom gains a proton and gains a positive charge. The result is the ammonium cation.
