Có should be accepted as it is used for yes in the saigon dialect which is technically spoken by more people anyways even though its not "official" i wish duolingo had the option to choose dialects for languages im speaking vietnamese in a heavily viet area of california and people dont particularly like the northern accent very much
Hi Michael,
When I was a kid, I was taught to put the accent on the "o". Apparently, it's now standard to put it on the "e". I put it on the "o" out of habit. There are lengthy discussions about accent placement elsewhere in Duolingo, but I don't remember where you can find it, sorry. I'm sure you'll stumble upon them if you check every comments section in the lessons. I hope this helps!
Hi Sylvia, thank you, I appreciate that you still look over these questions. :) I've already seen several of the discussions. I'm learning vietnamese in a club as well. We have very good native speakers which probably could help me out. It's just that I couldn't go there recently, so it will take a while before I can ask them. But still, I can give you an update as soon as I got the answer. Thank you again and keep on. ;p Kind regards, Michael.
