    Hi, Just wondering if someone can help me here.

    Not sure if there should be an urú for slí or not...

    Soláthraíonn sé mic léinn le taithí chun cabhrú leo tuilleadh a tslí beatha.

    Thanks

    That sentence doesn't read well at all. I'm guessing you used Google Translate for it. What were you trying to say, in English?

    "a tslí beatha" has a few problems.

    "a" only takes an urú when it refers to third person plural possession (their)

    "slí" is a feminine noun, so the adjective after it takes a séimhiú ( => slí bheatha)

    I was trying to say: It provides students with eperience to help them in their career.

    Soláthraíonn sé mic léinn le taithí chun cabhrú leo tuilleadh a tslí bheatha.

    I'm guessing you're using "tuilleadh" to suggest "further their career".

    If that's what you were going for, I'd switch it around to "a tslite beatha a thuilleamh" (but I'd prefer "chur chun cinn" myself)

    Soláthar feels like the wrong verb for me too. "Cuireann sé taithí ar fáil do mhic léinn", perhaps.
