Trying to get to grips with building triads in modes - where supposedly all chords produced are either major/minor or diminished.

If I pick G Dorian and build a triad from the A in its scale I get A, C and F.

I'm not sure what chord that is (A6?) but none of the above.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
