I was momentarily confused about this. Is it the same as in English we might write 'the Argentine' or 'The Argentine'?
I don't know if 'Argentine' is actually accepted by the course, but it makes more sense in English than 'the Argentina'.
Could you say 'byw'n' like in the case of 'hi'n'?
No -- this is a different yn.
The preposition yn meaning "in" doesn't contract to 'n, unlike the particle yn that links a form of bod to a predicate (mae hi'n hapus; mae hi'n athrawes dda) or the particle yn that turns an adjective into an adverb (os gwelwch chi'n dda).
