intimidemos

Intimidemos is a Spanish verb form derived from the verb intimidar (to intimidate). It functions as the present subjunctive form for the nosotros (we) person, and it is also the affirmative imperative form for the same subject. As such, it can appear in contexts that express a proposal or exhortation to act together, as in let us do something, or in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood.

As a regular -ar verb, intimidar follows standard conjugation patterns. The present subjunctive nosotros form is intimidemos, formed by taking the verb stem intimid- and adding -emos. This form is used in clauses that require the subjunctive, often following expressions of possibility, necessity, desire, doubt, or emotion, such as Es posible que intimidemos a los rivales si seguimos practicando, or Es necesario que intimidemos a quienes amenacen nuestra seguridad.

In addition to its subjunctive use, intimidemos also serves as the affirmative imperative for the nosotros form. In this function, it is a directive equivalent to “let us intimidate,” commonly found in formal or rhetorical contexts, or in collaborative plans. Its meaning can vary with context and is often dependent on accompanying verbs or nouns that specify the target of the action (for example, a group, a rival, or a threat).

Notes on usage and tone: as with any instruction involving intimidation, its presence in speech or writing can convey aggressive or coercive undertones. In most everyday contexts, more neutral or lawful verbs are preferred. Nonetheless, intimidemos remains a legitimate grammatical form in Spanish, illustrating how the subjunctive and imperative moods converge in the nosotros person.
