Anteangairí = Interpreters


teangaire = interpreter = CHAN-guh-ruh
an teangaire = the interpreter * = uh[n] CHAN-guh-ruh [many speakers would not pronounce the "n" shown in brackets]
teangairí = interpreters = CHAN-guh-ree
na teangairí = the interpreters * = nuh CHAN-guh-ree

* the an and na are definite articles (singular and plural)

If you are planning to use these words in phrases, you should note that there will probably be some changes to the spelling and pronunciation. For example, you have the adjective shona ("happy") by itself, but the spelling does not make sense. because the base word is sona and it only acquires the added "h" in certain contexts, such as in Nollaig Shona ("Happy/Merry Christmas"). The base word is pronounced SUN-uh, whereas in the context I've given it becomes "HUN-uh.
I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others, especially for tattoos.
