Questions & Answers about Împreună putem rezolva totul rapid, nu este o problemă.
What does împreună mean and how is it used here?
The word împreună is an adverb meaning together. It shows that the action (solving everything) is done jointly by the speakers. You don’t need a preposition when you’re not specifying with whom you’re together.
Is împreună ever used with a preposition like cu?
Yes, if you want to say together with someone, you add cu. For example împreună cu tine means together with you. In the given sentence there’s no explicit companion, so împreună stands alone.
Why is putem used here and how is it formed?
Putem is the first-person plural present indicative of a putea (to be able to). It translates as we can. The full present-tense conjugation is: eu pot, tu poți, el/ea poate, noi putem, voi puteți, ei/ele pot.
What does totul mean and why does it end in -ul?
Totul means everything. It comes from tot (all) plus the definite article -ul (the). In Romanian, neuter words take the masculine-singular definite ending -ul, so tot becomes totul.
In this sentence, is rapid an adjective or an adverb?
Here rapid functions as an adverb meaning quickly. In Romanian many adjectives double as adverbs without any change in form, so rapid can describe both a rapid (adjective) or that you do something rapid (adverbially).
Can you say nu e instead of nu este, and does it change the meaning?
Yes. Nu e is the contracted, more colloquial form of nu este, both meaning it is not. There is no change in meaning—nu e o problemă feels more informal or conversational.
Why is there an o before problemă in nu este o problemă?
The o is the indefinite article for singular feminine nouns (a problem). Even in negative sentences you often keep the article: nu este o problemă means it’s not a problem. Alternatively, nu este nicio problemă uses nicio (no/none) for a slightly stronger sense of “there is no problem at all.”
Could the word order be changed without altering the meaning?
Yes. Romanian word order is fairly flexible. You could say Putem rezolva totul rapid împreună or Putem rezolva împreună totul rapid. Moving împreună to the front (as in the original) emphasizes the idea of doing it together.
