The COPA-MK dataset (Choice of plausible alternatives in Macedonian) is a translation of the English COPA dataset (https://people.ict.usc.edu/~gordon/copa.html) by following the XCOPA dataset translation methodology (https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.00333).

The dataset consists of 1,000 premises (My body cast a shadow over the grass), each given a question (What is the cause? / What happened as a result?), and two choices (The sun was rising; The grass was cut), with a label encoding which of the choices is more plausible given the annotator or translator (The sun was rising).

The dataset follows the same format as the Croatian COPA-HR dataset (http://hdl.handle.net/11356/1404). It is split into training (400 instances), validation (100 instances) and test (500 instances) JSONL files.

Translation quality was ensured with the help of the ReLDI Centre Belgrade (https://reldi.spur.uzh.ch).
