"Pictor sum et picturas pingo."

Translation: I am a painter and I paint pictures.

[lililil]

Duo I'm not ready for tongue twisters yet!

[dc108]

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
What would that be in Latin? : )

[bonnythedog]

difficilis dicere..., dixit Duo.

[charly396845]

Rolling on the floor and laughing...

[Richlogos]

A very rough translation:

«Petrus Syringos duos congios capsicorum in salimuria collegit». :)

[dc108]

Thanks for the translation Rich! I look forward to the time when I also can seriously answer my own question in Latin, : )

I remember the fuller alliterative nursery rhyme, tongue-twister, from my childhood, said as fast as we could and as often as we could, ad nauseam, as:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
How many pecks did Peter Piper pick?

This is apparently a shortened version of the more common verse, from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Piper
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

: )

[Richlogos]

nihil est :)

[DebF26]

Google translate gave this for the first line - Petrus vero levavit piper piperis salsamentum modios - thoughts??

[Daniel17387]

I suppose everday Latin is already a tongue twister

[Savannah79072]

This sounds like something that someone who definitely isn't a painter would say to try and convince someone that they are a painter.

[KatrinaTheLamia]

Okay... anybody else thinking of that YTP meme with Dr. Robotnik saying "pingus"... and now trying to not imagine Dr. Robotnik making use of gratuitous Latin in his speeches?

[SeanMeaneyPL]

My "I am an artist, and I paint pictures" was accepted, with a minor correction - to "a artist". Get with the programme, Duo!...

[DavidLamb53073]

Yes, I just got the same.

[GregoryLCh]

Still not fixed (reported).

You have a typo

I am a artist and I paint pictures.

[Septimus734191]

Duolingo needs to learn that word order is flexible in English, too. I offered, "A painter am I and pictures I paint" which is a perfectly good English sentence, but it was rejected as wrong. I reported it.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Yes, it's correct, but why do you try to make the weirdest and less "natural" sentences possible? It's not even the same thing than in Latin, as in English, when unnatural subject-verb inversion occurs, it means you put the emphasis on it, in the Latin sentence, there's no emphasis on the same thing.
I don't think trying to mimic the Latin order in English, only to mimic it, is a good way to learn. Bad habit.

[Jessica-Jean]

Same here! Going to report it.

[MardukSky]

Mīlĕs sum et barbăros pugno.

[Sasha71526]

Is a pictor only an artist? Or if you paint houses, are you a pictor too?

[Heithr]

Alliterata

[Devonmonkey]

I am a painter and pictures I paint
word order doesn't matter In latin, and that is a fine English sentence

[DebF26]

Does 'pictures' here mean landscapes? portraits? It's not something a painter would say, unless it's specific.

[lesliewilman]

Perhaps his interlocutor had the wrong impression and sought a price for painting all his doors and window-frames.

[johnmarkos]

I am a painter and I paint paintings.
