Redwolf

another way
athair mór
or
athair críonna

thanks, i have also been given the translations of daideo and athair mhoir would anyone be able to let me know weather they say granfather too? thanks

Sean athair in Grand father as in the English formal way he is my grandfather,

The others Dadieo means Grandad or Grampa and the same with the other which means Big daddy literallly.

Personally when I spoke about my Grandpa I referred to him as My sean athair but if I spoke to him as Gaeilge I called him Daideo (grampa)

Hope this is clear

Thankyou that is clear, as i always called him grandad or my grampa.

so...... Daideo is either grampa or grandad and sean athair.. grandfather?

"Seanathair" should be written as one word, not two. Yes...it's the equivalent of "grandfather."

Yes...Daideo is the Irish equivalent of grandpa/granddad/pop pop/etc.
