Suntem acolo.

Questions & Answers about Suntem acolo.

Where is the word for "we" in Suntem acolo?
In Romanian, you do not always need to say the subject pronoun like noi (we). The verb form suntem already means "we are". Dropping the pronoun is very common and usually sounds more natural.
Can I say Noi suntem acolo instead?
Yes! Adding noi (we) is perfectly correct, but it adds emphasis. You would say Noi suntem acolo if you specifically want to point out that we are the ones there, perhaps in contrast to someone else.
What verb does suntem come from?
It comes from a fi, which is the Romanian verb for "to be". It is a highly irregular verb, meaning its forms change completely and you just have to memorize them. Suntem is the specific present-tense form used for "we".
If acolo means "there", how do I say "here"?
The Romanian word for "here" is aici. If you wanted to change the sentence to "We are here", you would simply say Suntem aici.
