I did add to Word of the Day, but I thought it might deserve its own space as it is often asked for.

This is how we address our parents and grandparents in Connemara.
(An Cheathrú Rua specifically)

Recorded in this order -

Mama = Mammy
Deaide = Daddy
Mamó = Grandma, Nan
Daideo= Grandad

. .

If you want to be more formal you can say -
seanmháthair or máthair mhór = grandmother
Seanathair = grandfather

Goidé na focla a úsáideas tú le "parents" agus le "grandparents" a ráidht?
Is dóigh liom nach n-úsáideann na cainteoirí dúchais na focla "tuismitheoirí", ná ""seantuismitheoirí" (??níl 's agam an bhfaghthar an focal sin ins na foclóirí féin...)

Bhuel is "athair agus máthair", "seanathreachaí agus seanmhaithreachaí" a chloiseann mise go hundúil, agus is é a usáideann mé féin freisin. Agus "seanmhuintir" i gcásannaí airaid.

Tá m'athair is mo mháthair....

Ní aon fhocal tradisiúnta againn ar "siblings" ach an n-oiread.

cha gcuireann sé iontas orm, níl a leithéid i bhFraincis ach an oiread. Nuair a bhí mé 'foghlaim Béarla, bhí iontas orm nuair a thug mé fá dear go rabh focal ar leith acu le "frères et soeurs" a ráidht Ach i gcuid mhór teangthach, níl a leithéid d'fhocal, deirtear "deartháireacha agus deirfiúracha" srl

Tá sé coitianta i nGearmáinis, nach bhfuil? - Geschwister (haben sie Geschwister?).
Fiú i mBéarla úsáidtear "brothers and sisters" níos minice ná "siblings".
