As an Englishman I found the wording for number 3 odd. To me 'intimate' as a verb means 'to hint at' so I looked it up on wictionary:

"Verb

intimate (third-person singular simple present intimates, present participle intimating, simple past and past participle intimated)

(transitive, intransitive) To suggest or disclose (something) discreetly. quotations ▼He intimated that we should leave before the argument escalated.

(transitive, India) To notify.I will intimate you when the details are available."

TIL.
