Look interesting. Also, this sentence seems weird to me: Is é do scór x%.

One thing that is annoying me: I'm doing the "questions with copula" quiz, and, though the question is "An tusa ...", it won't accept "Is/ní mise" as an answer. Really annoying.

"Is é do scór (ná) x %" is okay, I think.

An answer for "An tusa X?" is "Is mé", not "Is mise".

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Is é X% do scór.

That works too, but I don't think it makes sense if ná is left out. "Is é do scór x%" sounds like an answer to the question "Cad é/Céard é X%?"

I was actually unaware that it wasn't used in response. I understood why "Is mé" was a correct answer, but I also felt "Is mise" shoulda been one as well. Thanks for pointing that out!

If it's the question I'm thinking of, it's because you're supposed to say "yes" to "are you a student?" (the program assumes it's being used by students).

Edited to add that I just realized you were doing the lesson on the emphatic structure, and yes...it should be "is mé/ní mé"

ná is used in Munster. Everywhere else there is only a pause.
