Usage Note
Intollerabile is an invariable-ending adjective that means something cannot be endured — un dolore intollerabile (unbearable pain), una situazione intollerabile (an intolerable situation). It is stronger than insopportabile (insufferable) and implies a moral or physical limit has been crossed. Note the double l, mirroring the double l in tollerare.
Examples
"Il caldo era diventato intollerabile."
Natural Translation
The heat had become intolerable.
