Hello,


I'm calligraphing baby shower notes, and I was wondering is an Irish Gaelic equivilent to the term "Auntie" and how it would be pronounced.

{I believe the proper Gaelic noun for Aunt is Aintin...}


Thank You

Ceili

Aintín (note the accent mark over the i)

/an-cheen/

and it's the word for "Auntie" as well

Ní bheidh Éire shaor ar síocháin choíche, agus gan an ceart, ní féidir an tsíocháin a bheith ann.
