Question
How do you say 'there are no problems only solutions in Latin?


Answer
Hello,

The phrase "There are no problems only solutions" can be translated as follows:

-“Nulla sunt  problemata,solutiones tantum “(literal)

Or more concisely:

-“Nulla problemata, solutiones tantum” (literally, “No problems, only solutions”)

Best regards,
Maria
________________________________________
Note that:

-There are = SUNT (from SUM, I am). This verb can be omitted.

-no = NULLA (Nominative neuter plural  of the adjective NULLUS agreed with PROBLEMATA)

-problems = PROBLEMATA (nominative neuter plural of PROBLEMA, 3rd.declension)

-only = TANTUM (adverb)

-solutions = SOLUTIONES (nominative plural of SOLUTIO, 3rd.declension)

As you can see, Latin word order can be different from English simply because in Latin syntactical relationships are indicated by the inflexional endings, not by the order of the words.
