Hope you can help.
I will soon become a Grandfather and would like to be be addressed by the Irish Gaelic translation for Grandpa and/or Grandfather.
Thank you in advance for helping.

"seanathair" is kind of like "SHAN-uh-her" (the "A" is like the "a" in "hat") Actually, that final "r" is more like a "zh" sound, but I'm not not quite sure how to write it. Redwolf Níl mé anseo níos mó, a chairde. Tá IGTF caillte...tachta le fógraí. Feicfidh mé sibh ar an suíomh seo

I think that pronunciation is accurate, what's with the "zh" sound? Probably more like a "d" sound. Rolling the r.
SHAN-ah-her(d) An rud a líonas an tsúil líonann sé an croí

No...it's not a rolled r (a tipped r at best, but it's harder than that). It really is more like a "zh" or "dzh." Redwolf Níl mé anseo níos mó, a chairde. Tá IGTF caillte...tachta le fógraí. Feicfidh mé sibh ar an suíomh seo
