Intensificam is a Portuguese verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of intensificar, and translates as "they intensify" or "they are intensifying." The form is used when describing actions that become stronger, more pronounced, or more extensive, carried out by multiple subjects.

Intensificar is a regular -ar verb derived from Latin intensificare, from intensus "intense" and facere "to make."
