Hi everyone! This could sound strange, but I'd like to ask you for two different translations:
1) Is there an only word to define "vital energy"? If not, what's simply the word for "energy"?
2) What are the words for "high/great council"?
Thank you very much

Just as in English, there is no one word for "vital energy". Fuinneamh means energy.

Ard Chomhairle for High/Great Council

Wait for more.

Wouldn't beocht come pretty close to meaning "vital energy"?

Níl beocht ar bith ann. "He has no life/spirit in him."
beocht a chur i nduine "to revive/animate someone"

And wouldn't "High/Great Council" be Ardchomhairle as one word?

Wait for further input ...

Beocht Yes, it would definitely work in contexts, good suggestion.

As for High Council... I had what you have on my mind (over at IGTF, before I directed it here, I mentioned that it may be made into a compound word), then I did a quick Google search just to check if it had been used before for anything, and for what. Ard Chomhairle was there so I just threw it down. Now that you've put it on paper i can see that's it's probably more correct

Thank you very very much for your answers! Can I ask for a little more? Could you please write how these words are pronounced? You know, I'm Italian so I'm not very skilled about that XD Again, thanks very much!!!

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
