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!!!

Grandmamma = Mamó (Mammy-o)
Father = Athair (awe-here)
Grandfather = seanathair (shan-awe-here)
Grand-dad = Daideo (Daddy-o)
Grandchild = Ua (OOh-e??) OR garchlainne (Gar-klawenn-a)
Grandchildren = Clann clainne (Clawn klenn-a)
Grand-daughter = Gariníon (Gar-in-een)
