Greetings~

As I am working my way through trying to learn Irish Gaelic, I have come across a need. I just purchased a new Jeep and wish to give it an Irish name. I came up with Golden Iron Horse as that is an apt description and the closest I came up with is:

Capall iarainn órga

But I'm positive I don't have the grammar right.Could I get a correction and possibly a pronunciation guide?

The horse is made of iron but is just golden in color rather than made of golden but metaphorically 'iron' (strong)?

Yes, an iron horse painted a golden color. Hope that helps.

Isn't an "iron horse" a train? Or have I been watching too many cowboy movies?

That it is. Can also be used for cars. I like it better than "Horseless Carraige"

In that case, wouldn't it be An Mhuc Dhubh Órga?

Thank you Jay Bee. That's one!

As for pronunciation, well, it would come out as 'Ah Wuk Ghú Óraga' or 'Uh Vwuk Ghuibh Óraga' with the k nearly being swallowed, but the issue is that Irish doesn't sound the same as English, so unless you follow some instructions, it won't come out right

Basically, the 'gh' here can be done like a) breathing out a continuous breath like a long 'h' then voicing it or b) a softer French r and the 'r' like the tt in American English 'butter' or Spanish 'pero' ( a tapped r) and then an extra helping vowel goes in between the r and the g, so órga sounds like 'óraga'
