"La pico ne estas blua."

Translation: The pizza is not blue.

[JASWhistman]

I'd certainly hope not!

[EYF2003]

i was about to write that!

[djzeus01]

But maybe this explains why someone thought the pizzas were bad.

[neeeeeeeeek]

Two sentences that I will hopefully never have to use again.

[JoeJScott]

mmmm

[astropauws]

That's gotta be violet! Also what on earth is on that pizza? :O

[JoeJScott]

Adirondack Blue potato, which is a thing, apparently.

[astropauws]

Well I guess if you're a fan of weird vegetables! oO

[Scott-Derek]

Ili bongustas!

[EYF2003]

jes

[kholden83]

Why would you put potato on pizza?

[CliffJonesJr]

Have you ever had potato on pizza? That might answer your question. This sounds bizarre, but in Japan, potato salad on pizza is a thing. A good thing.

[JoeJScott]

Maybe to disprove a statement on Duolingo? We may never know.

[Rippler]

Mashed potato bacon pizza. 'Nuff said.

[Thaddeus108]

I know what I'm having for dinner tomorrow....

[FredCapp]

Jes, kaj bongustaĵo ĝi estas.

[EYF2003]

is that a flat bread pizza?

[Sculptor94]

What are those blue things?

[GrowingRosemary]

Percy Jackson is not happy about this information :((

[cheruchan262]

That's what I was going to say ;)

[csvicc_]

I got here too late hahaha

[RJDapice]

Yes!! I came here looking for this comment. XD

[FredCapp]

So the pizza is happy?

[JimLNA]

This is the perfect sentence to help remember the difference between the pronunciations of "c" and "s".

[vikaso1]

but why?
why is this c pronounced as 'ts' ?

[senesperulo]

Because that's how it's always pronounced in Esperanto...

You're at level 11 - How have you been pronouncing it up until now?

[ZL321]

I was not sure what 'pico' meant until I heard it, haha.

[Grokford]

Sorry Percy..

[f3meyer]

Old dictionaries translate 'pizza' as 'pizao'.

[FredCapp]

La lingvo kreskas, kaj maturiĝas.

[TrevorForeplay]

The waffle certainly is blue though...

[YariMsika]

Why is "pico" pizza?? The word "pizza" is so universal. It would have been a lot simpler to make the word pizza.

[Scott-Derek]

All nouns end in -o, an -a ending is reserved for adjectives. The sound the 'zz' make the 'ts' sound is written as a 'c' in Esperanto as it is a different language than Italian and doesn't follow the same phonological rules.

So if you take pizza, just change it to sound the same in Esperanto you have pica, now since it is a noun we will just change that ending to the -o noun ending and you have 'pico'

[FredCapp]

Bravo, well explained.

[leonardinh1]

if you're Chilean, this sentence will sound weird for you...and you know what I'm talking about...

[Tebis11]

Kelnero! La pico ne estas blua!

[cityboy8]

Who DOESN'T eat blue pizza???

[JordiFaxon]

Everyone. Everyone but you.

[vtopphol]

Blueberry and blue stilton pizza?

[FluffyCat113]

Thank you Duolingo for your wise knowledge

[philhuebbers]

I wouldn't eat it, then...

[JosephStal21801]

I'd have to disagree with you there

[Marethyu9]

i wish it was blue
