In "Gaelic" what is the translation for Aunt & Grandma to english?

Answer 1

In standard Irish Gaelic the word for "grandmother" is seanmháthair . It is pronounced as if it were spelled shann-wahr. This is because Irish spelling, much like English spelling, has not kept pace with changes in pronunciation over the centuries.

There is some dialectal variation on this word. For example, In Tír Chonaill (Cheer honn-all) in north-central Ireland, people say máthair mhór (pronounced mweh-her wore) for "grandmother" where mhór corresponds to English grand.

Traditionally, the Irish had no words for aunt and uncle. They used words that meant my "mother's sister, my mother's brother, my father's sister, and my father's brother." A lot of languages in the world do this - -- for example, the Lapp (Saami) language of northern Scandinavia and Finland has this kind of a system too.

Nowadays, however, you can use 'aintín' (pronounced on-cheen) for "aunt" and 'uncail' (pronounced oong-kul) for "uncle."
