Question 1

Could ne înțelegem also mean "we get along"?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In Romanian, the reflexive verb a se înțelege often translates to "to get along". For example, ne înțelegem bine means "we get along well". In this context, "we understand each other better" and "we get along better" are practically interchangeable.

Question 2

How does the word ne mean "each other" here?

Accepted Answer

Romanian uses reflexive pronouns to show reciprocal actions (things people do to one another). While ne can be a direct object meaning "us" when someone else does the action, here the subject is "we", so it acts as a reciprocal pronoun meaning "each other".

Question 3

Why is it just terapie and not terapia with a definite article?

Accepted Answer

Simple prepositions like după usually require the unarticulated form of the noun in Romanian. You only add the definite article if the noun is further described or restricted by another word, like in după terapia de cuplu (after couples therapy).

Question 4

How would the sentence change if we were talking about a couple ("they")?

Accepted Answer

You would change the pronoun to the third-person reflexive se and the verb to înțeleg, making it: Se înțeleg mai bine după terapie.
