Hi dragonsgift,

I would translate this so: "tago de kolero".

It's "Tago de Kolerego".

Anger (kolero) is less intense than wrath (kolerego). rideto.gif

If this is "day of wrath" as in the Latin "dies irae", then it should be "kolero" and not "kolerego". Latin doesn't distinguish; "ira" can mean both simple "anger" and "wrath".

In my opinion, it is the meaning or the idea, that the word suggests, that we translate, not the word itself.

When I think of the word "wrath", I think of it as something more terrifying, something more intense than that the word "anger" suggests. So, I opted for the word "kolerego" because indeed, the meaning is more intense than that of "kolero". rideto.gif
