How do you say dark warrior in Gaelic?

There isn't a single perfect translation for "dark warrior" in Gaelic, as the best option depends on which Gaelic (Scottish Gaelic or Irish Gaelic) you're aiming for and the nuance you want to convey. "Dark" can refer to physical appearance, moral character, or even a metaphorical darkness.

Here are some possibilities, keeping in mind these are approximations and the poetic license you might want to use:

Scottish Gaelic:

* `laoch dorcha`: This is a literal translation, meaning "dark warrior." "Laoch" is warrior/hero, and "dorcha" is dark. It's straightforward but might lack the evocative power of a more poetic rendering.

* `gaisgeach dubh`: Similar to the above, using "gaisgeach" (warrior) and "dubh" (black/dark). This might suggest a more physically dark warrior.

* More poetic options would require more context. You could use descriptive words to build a more evocative phrase, like `laoch a' bhaile dorcha` (warrior of the dark land) or similar, depending on the specific setting.

Irish Gaelic:

* `laoch dorcha`: Similar to the Scottish Gaelic, this is a direct translation using "laoch" (warrior) and "dorcha" (dark).

* `cogadóir dorcha`: This uses "cogadóir" (warrior) instead of "laoch," offering a slightly different connotation.

* Again, more descriptive phrasing would give a more powerful image. For example, you might use a descriptive adjective other than "dorcha" to capture the specific kind of darkness.

To get a truly fitting translation, more context is needed. What kind of darkness are you describing? What is the warrior's role? Knowing this will allow for a more accurate and evocative translation.
