i am getting an error in my python code can you help me fix it?

I am getting the error:

    randint = randint(1, 2)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

This is my code. I have no idea what caused this to happen, is it something to do with going over the loop twice, because it allows me to answer the first question then fails: screenshot.

from random import randint

score = 0

print('\n\n\n\nyour score right now is ', score, 'if it drops below zero you lose')

def make_question(num, italian, answer):

    global score

    if randint == int(num):
        a = input('\nWhat does ' + str(italian) + ' mean? ')
        if a == str(answer):
            score += 1
            print('\ncorrect your score is: ', score)
        else:
            score -= 1
            print('\nincorrect your score is now: ', score)


while True:
    randint = randint(1, 2)
    make_question(1, 'ripetere', 'repeat')
    make_question(2, 'puoi/potere ripetere', 'can you repeat that')

The first time you do:

randint = randint(1, 2)

randint is the function from the random module, and the call works. Then you replace it with either 1 or 2, and now it's just an int. Use a different name for the value you're generating (say, whichquestion = randint(1, 2) and replace if randint == int(num): with if whichquestion == int(num):), so you don't discard your handle to the function you need.
