Amândoi sunt aici.

Amândoi means both when referring to two people.

In Amândoi sunt aici, it means both of them are here.

A useful way to think of it:

• doi = two
• amândoi = both (of the two)

It is normally used for people rather than things.

Because amândoi refers to two people, so the verb must be plural.

• sunt = are
• singular would be este / e = is

So:

• Amândoi sunt aici = Both are here
• not Amândoi este aici, because that would mismatch the subject.

Romanian often drops subject pronouns when they are not necessary, because the verb form already gives useful information.

So instead of saying:

• Ei sunt aici = They are here

Romanian can simply say:

• Sunt aici = They are here / are here, depending on context

With amândoi, the subject is already clear enough:

• Amândoi sunt aici = Both are here

You could also say:

• Ei sunt amândoi aici

But the shorter version is very natural.

Amândoi is the masculine form. It is used for:

• two males
• a mixed pair (male + female)

If both people are female, Romanian normally uses:

• amândouă

So:

• Amândoi sunt aici = both are here (masculine or mixed)
• Amândouă sunt aici = both are here (two females)

Yes. Romanian word order is fairly flexible, though some versions sound more natural in certain contexts.

Common possibilities include:

• Amândoi sunt aici — neutral, very natural
• Sunt amândoi aici — also natural, often focusing a little more on here
• Ei sunt amândoi aici — adds they, sometimes for emphasis or clarity

All of these can mean roughly They are both here.

Putting amândoi first gives it a little prominence. It highlights both.

So:

• Amândoi sunt aici feels like Both of them are here
• Sunt amândoi aici feels a bit more like They are both here

The difference is small, but fronting amândoi is very common when you want to emphasize the idea of both.

Sometimes yes, but they are not exactly the same in tone.

• amândoi = the most common, everyday word for both (for people)
• ambii = also both, but often sounds more formal, more written, or more elevated

So:

• Amândoi sunt aici = very natural everyday Romanian
• Ambii sunt aici = possible, but more formal

For a learner, amândoi is usually the safest and most natural choice in conversation.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

• amândoi ≈ uh-muhn-DOY
• sunt ≈ soont or sometimes closer to sînt depending on speaker
• aici ≈ eye-EECH

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like:

• uh-muhn-DOY soont eye-EECH

The strongest stress is usually on:

• -doi in amândoi
• the second syllable of aici

The letter â represents a Romanian vowel that English does not really have. It is a central sound, often described approximately as something between a very reduced i and u, but neither is exact.

In amândoi, do not try to make it a clear English a or oo sound. It is more central and neutral.

For beginners, an approximate pronunciation is enough. The important thing is to recognize that:

• a
• ă
• â / î

are different vowels in Romanian.

Yes. Amândoi is specifically for two people.

If there are more than two, Romanian would use something else, such as:

• toți = all (masculine/mixed)
• toate = all (feminine)

So amândoi cannot mean all of them if there are three or more people. It strictly means both.

Amândoi is mainly used for people.

For things, Romanian more often uses other structures, such as:

• ambele = both (for feminine nouns)
• amândouă in some contexts
• or a noun phrase that makes the reference clearer

So in Amândoi sunt aici, the most natural interpretation is that it refers to two people.

Yes. Aici means here, and its position can vary.

For example:

• Amândoi sunt aici
• Sunt aici amândoi
• Aici sunt amândoi

These can all be possible, but they do not feel exactly the same:

• Amândoi sunt aici = neutral, common
• Sunt aici amândoi = often sounds like an afterthought or a clarification
• Aici sunt amândoi = emphasizes here

So the original sentence is a very normal and natural way to say it.
