How do you say infant in Scottish?

There isn't one single word for "infant" in Scottish Gaelic that perfectly captures the English meaning. The best translation depends on the context:

* For a very young baby: ` pàisde` (pronounced roughly "paysh-deh") is the most common and straightforward term.

* For a slightly older infant: You might use a phrase like `leanabh òg` (pronounced roughly "lyan-av oag"), meaning "young child."

The choice depends on the age and the nuance you want to convey. `Pàisde` is generally preferred for a baby under the age of one.
