Do you need to use ένας here? There are later discussions which say a/an is often optional in Greek and I wonder if that is the case here.
How would this be written in English lettering? Wouldn't it be Aytos/Autos einai enas antras? I keep putting that in, but it says it's incorrect, and I don't know how greek keyboards work, so I'm stuck here.
For the use of English characters for the Greek go to the forum where each letter is offered for your convenience. Only those will be accepted so there is conformity. See -> here There is a lot of other information on these pages but if you need anything else we're here to help. Best wishes.
On your phone seetings select the language starting with this symbol "γ" and for special characters just tap and hold
Would "Αυτός είναι ένας άνθρωπος" be OK in this case? Since the sentence didn't state which "man" was it.
It wanted αντρασ. It just kept saying incorrect because I forgot that Αυτός is pronounced "aftos" not "aytos"

For a Greek keyboard, I open a second tab, such as this one: http://greek.typeit.org/ Then I type my Greek letters there and paste what I've typed onto the Duolingo box. It works well enough without having to convert my keyboard.
Yes. it is a good alternative for anyone who can't or doesn't want to convert their keyboard. I've tried it and find it just a bit slower but I am used to touch-typing in both Eng and Gr rapidly. But since there are usually only a few sentences to be typed in Greek in each lesson it is certainly a good alternative. Btw it took me a few tries before I realized I could type the Gr. letters and not use the cursor. :) Thank you for sharing.
