A Half human, half robot
Hi,
Do need 'a' before the following:
It's [a] half human, half robot.
This machine is [a] half car, half boat. (I know this one sounds silly)
And do I need to put hyphens after the word 'half' --> half-human, half-robot?
Thanks!

MustAskThis machine is [a] half car, half boat. (I know this one sounds silly)I think the military invented just such a useful contraption. It is called an amphibious vehicle.
Hyphens are suggested, but not required.
