Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Sicilian pitturi, from Latin pictor.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
pittur m (plural pitturi, feminine pittur or pittura)
- painter (artist)
Usage notes[edit]
- Similar to certain other words in -ur, the feminine form is slightly awkward because it also means “painting”. The basic form may be used instead, either with feminine or masculine agreement. So for “She is a well known painter” one could say Hija pittura magħrufa / pittur magħrufa / pittur magħruf. In the plural pittur and pittura merge in any case, however.
