There are various forms of speech for an exact and complete understanding of statement. One of them is intensification. Intensification is made for strengthening the meaning or attracting more attention to a certain component. The meaning of an intensified expression is more comprehensible. This expression style which is called as "tekit" in Arabic and "intensification" in English, is met by the concepts of “tekit, berkitme, kuvvetlendirme, pekiştirme” in Turkish.
