Hello all,

I am looking to have the quote "through darkness comes light" tattooed on my arm. I have done a lot of research and am still not coming back with a solid translation of the phrase. If I could please have help on the matter I would greatly appreciate it! I am interested in having it translated into CO and SL if possible. Thanks!

I should add my findings:

faoi dorchadas tagann solas
faoi dorchadas tar solas

tri dorchadas tagann solas
tri dorchadas tar solas

Hopefully these are accurate. The main questions I have are on the words, "thourgh" and "comes"

Thanks again!

Through the darkness comes the light.
Tríd an dorchadas a thagann an solas. (or: ... a thagas an solas)
Tríd an dorċadas a ṫagann an solas. (... a ṫagas an solas)

Thank you! I love it! Is it a more common phrase to add both of the "the" in the phrase? I was wanting to keep it simpler but I am open to including them, just wondering.

faoi dhorchadas = under darkness
trí dhorchadas = through darkness

But I'd use the article here: tríd an dorchadas = through the darkness

tagann (comes) is correct, except that in Irish a relative clause is necessary here, so a thagann (or with the special relative verb form: a thagas)

I am very new to these forums so getting confused as to how to reply to each specific post. But I wanted to say THANK YOU! Very helpful and truly beautiful language.

As I mentioned in your duplicate thread, I'm bumping this one up so that you can ask for more help.

I can second what Labhrás gave you.

Thank you. What does the quote look like if it just says "through darkness comes light" without the articles "the"? Thank you for your time.

If you remove the article than the meaning in Irish will become "Through a darkness comes a light"
In Irish the lack of the word "the" has the meaning of "a/an" in English.

Have you considered using a more natural Irish idiom? My suggestion is:
An áit a mbíonn an dólás bíonn an sólás ina aice
(where there is desolation, next to it there is consolation)

Actually, I think the def. article could be left out with no harm. Tagann solas trí dhorchadas

(Bíodh solas ann)
