"You are a student."

Translation: Ти студент.

Can you put «є» in «ви є студент?» or is it an error / implied. is there exceptions ? Thanks

[KuzmaS]

In Ukrainian is implied, if you put it there it would sound foreign. But, to be pedantic, you could use "to be" in some contexts to emphasize, e.g. "But you ARE a student" "Але ти є студент".

I don't understand the dash here..?

[Shady_arc]

When you have a positive "A is B" sentence and BOTH A and B are nouns, dash is required by Ukrainian punctuation conventions (except in come colloquial-style sentences and some special cases):

• Моя бабуся — письменниця.
• Мій друг — водій.

No dash is required when one of these is a pronoun (though one might still use a dash for emphasis):

• Це моя машина.
• Він водій.

Same in questions and negative sentences. No dash is usually there:

• Гаррі студент?
• Моя сестра не вчителька.

ти студент

[PerunBolt]

"Ти є студент."/"Ти є студентка." ARE both correct and ARE used in Ukrainian language today.

"Є" ('to be') is perfectly normal and accepted in today's Ukrainian conversation and writing.
I do not know WHY Duolingo keeps marking the inclusion of the verb 'Є' ('буття'/'to be') as 'wrong', when it IS correct. This must be fixed.

[PerunBolt]

"Ти студент." literally means, "You student." without a verb. There should be a "є" present for "You ARE a student." to make sense...
