Question

What does the Irish word "crater" mean?

CaraleComhairle

Community Answer

You might mean ''créatúr.'' This means creature. It's often used quite affectionately, both in Hibero-English and in Irish. You might hear someone saying ''the poor créatúr'' to express sympathy for someone who had bad luck.

Question

How do I say "grandfather" in Gaelic?

CaraleComhairle

Community Answer

''Seanathair'' is grandfather. Great-grandfather is ''sinseanathair''. 'Dádo'' is a pet name for your grandfather, like Pops. To address your grandfather, say ''A Sheanathair...'' at the start of the sentence. Irish is like Spanish in that 'A' is placed before someone's name before they are addressed; this changes the spelling and pronunciation of the name somewhat.

Depends on which part of Ireland you are from. From what I have observed, they say ditch in the east and they say gwitch in the west.

You could just say "slainte" as it is a very generic, widely recognised phrase for most occasions!
