"The Italian is in America."

Translation: Tá an tIodálach i Meiriceá.

[khmanuel]

Should there be a dash after the t?

[scilling]

No; there’s no hyphen before a capital letter.

[Brandon87199]

Article plus maculine noun starting with a vowel.

[pvcsweeney]

Why is the t there again?

[scilling]

Because Iodálach is a masculine nominative noun that begins with a vowel, and in this sentence follows an and is not part of a prepositional phrase.

Why is it not "i bMeiriceá"?

[scilling]

Because m doesn’t get eclipsed. (It’s m that eclipses b, e.g. i mBarbadós).
