Bineînțeles, ajutăm.

Yes, bineînțeles is written as one word.

It is a very common Romanian adverb meaning of course, naturally, or obviously, depending on context.
Literally, it comes from elements related to well understood, which helps explain its sense of naturally / of course.

In everyday Romanian, bineînțeles is extremely common and idiomatic.

Romanian often drops the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb ending.

Ajutăm means we help or we are helping, so the we is already built into the verb form. Because of that, Romanian usually does not need noi.

You could say Noi ajutăm, but that adds emphasis, roughly like:

• We help.
• As for us, we help.

Without noi, the sentence sounds more neutral and natural in many contexts.

Ajutăm is:

• 1st person plural
• present tense
• from the verb a ajuta = to help

So:

• eu ajut = I help
• tu ajuți = you help
• el/ea ajută = he/she helps
• noi ajutăm = we help
• voi ajutați = you all help
• ei/ele ajută = they help

In this sentence, ajutăm means we help or sometimes we are helping, depending on context.

It can mean either one.

Romanian present tense often covers both the simple present and the present progressive that English distinguishes:

• ajutăm = we help
• ajutăm = we are helping

The exact meaning depends on context. Romanian usually does not need a separate form like English are helping.

The comma separates bineînțeles from the main clause.

Here, bineînțeles works like a sentence adverb, similar to English:

• Of course, we help.

The comma marks a small pause and makes the structure clearer. In short replies and conversational writing, this punctuation is very natural.

Yes. Bineînțeles că ajutăm is also correct and very natural.

Adding că often makes the sentence feel a bit more explicit, like:

• Of course we help.
• Of course it’s true that we help.

Both versions are good:

• Bineînțeles, ajutăm.
• Bineînțeles că ajutăm.

The version with că can sound slightly fuller or more emphatic, but the difference is not huge.

A simple learner-friendly approximation is:

• bineînțeles ≈ BEE-neh-in-tseh-LES
• ajutăm ≈ ah-zhoo-TUHM

A few important sound notes:

• ă in ajutăm is a short central vowel, somewhat like the a in English sofa, but not exactly the same.
• î in bineînțeles is a distinct Romanian vowel with no exact English equivalent.
• The stress is roughly:
  • bineînțeLES
  • ajuTĂM

Romanian pronunciation is usually quite consistent once you learn the sound values.

They are different vowels.

• ă is a short central vowel, as in ajutăm
• î is a closer, more tense central vowel, as in bineînțeles

For English speakers, both can feel unfamiliar at first, but they are separate sounds and should not be mixed up.

Also, these marks are not optional in standard Romanian spelling. Writing them correctly matters:

• bineînțeles
• ajutăm

It is neutral and works in both everyday and fairly formal contexts.

Neither bineînțeles nor ajutăm is slang. The sentence could fit in:

• normal conversation
• customer service
• polite responses
• written Romanian

So it is a very useful, standard phrase.

Yes, but the original order is very natural.

The standard version here is:

• Bineînțeles, ajutăm.

You may also hear or see variations depending on emphasis, for example:

• Ajutăm, bineînțeles.
  This can sound like We do help, of course.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but not all variations feel equally natural in every context. For a learner, the original version is an excellent default.

Yes, depending on tone.

Some common alternatives are:

• desigur = certainly / of course
• sigur = sure / of course
• firește = naturally / of course

Examples:

• Desigur, ajutăm.
• Sigur, ajutăm.
• Firește, ajutăm.

They are similar, but the tone changes slightly:

• bineînțeles = very common, natural, straightforward
• desigur = a bit more polished or formal
• sigur = very common, conversational
• firește = a little more literary or elegant in some contexts

That ending marks the 1st person plural present tense for this verb pattern.

The verb is a ajuta. In the present tense, noi takes the form ajutăm.

So the ending -ăm tells you the subject is we.

This is one reason Romanian can omit the pronoun: the verb ending already gives that information.
