mumym is very picky. It wants you to just answer its question and
nothing else. You need to say simply 'zo bradi', which is in fact the
answer to 'ma'.

Though I would encourage bancus to make it a little more accepting of
variations on phrases, like disregarding whether or not the period is
there in the starting phrases.
