Why is this not Φόβος του σκοταδιού? Is this usually not said in Greek?

[troll1995]

It is accepted. It's as common as φόβος για το σκοτάδι.

[Ayun375]

I have a constant fear that something's always near.

ο φόβος του σκοταδιού is still marked as incorrect though - reported

[Dimitra956826]

Oh, the article wasn't included in the translation. I added it, just in case. It should be okay now!

[spdl79]

Thank you!

[Nathalie975642]

Still didn't accept my ο φόβος.

[G.Georgopoulos]

Yes, because you probably typed in another sentence, which has now been added.

In the manner of psychologists and other psy-something, could you construct such a word as σκοταδίφοβος or something similar? Not at all sure of where one would put the τόνος here, either.

[troll1995]

It's σκοτοφοβία from (το) σκότος=το σκοτάδι=darkness and φοβία=phobia.
