"Do they use the euro in Germany?"

Translation: An úsáideann siad an euro sa Ghearmáin?

[Cait48]

This is one where I feel like using "úsáidtear".

[smrch]

An úsáidtear an Euro sa Ghearmáin would be much better.

Why ' i Sasana' but not 'i Ghearmain'

[Cait48]

England = Sasana,
Germany = an Ghearmáin
When 'an' is part of the name of the country, you have 'sa' instead of 'i.'

[ColmDuffy]

So, why is it "i sasana" but "sa ghéarmáin"??

[SatharnPHL]

Most countries require a definite article in the nominative case, but there are 5 major exceptions - Éire, Albain, Sasana, Meiriceá and Ceanada.

To confuse matters further, Éire has a distinct dative form, so with a preposition you get in Éirinn or go hÉirinn, but for the others, the nominative and dative forms are the same, so you get in Albain, i Sasana, i Meiriceá and i gCeanada, but sa Fhrainc, san Iodáil, sa Spáinn, and sa Ghearmáin.
