chuala mé "tada" ar clár ar TG4 aréir, in the subtitles it translated it as "nothing" they had just been asked "what are yous up to?" to which they replied tada, as my Irish has improved ive started to notice the differences between the subtitles and the actual words spoken, any way long question short, are you able to use "tada" as a response on its own to questions like, what are you doing ? or what have you got there?
