Hello, I need the Irish Gaelic translations for "Grand Mother (Grandma) and Grand Father (Grandpa)" as soon as possible. My brother and sister in law want to find a creative way to tell my parents that they are going to be grandparents <--- how do you say Grandparents in Gaelic also please! I read that "Daideo" is Grandpa, and "Mamó" is Grandma, are these correct? If so, how do you phonetically pronounce them? Thank you so much!!! |

OR garchlainne (Gar-klawenn-a) Grandchildren = Clann clainne (Clawn klenn-a) Grand-daughter = Gariníon (Gar-in-een) Grandson = Ua (OOh-e??) OR garmhac (Gar-vhac) Go n-éirí leat, Colm. |
