Gaelic translation of winter?

Question

Random question i know, but i really really need to know the Gaelic translation of Winter. Its for naming purposes?

please someone help

Answer 1

first guy is right.....we never say "gaelic"

always "Irish" or "gaeilge" - pronounced "gwayl-gaa"

the word for winter is "geimhreadh"

here in Leinster we pronounce it "gebh-raa"

Answer 2

i think it's "gimreadh" not sure though

Answer 3

their is no such language as gaelic! its irish! and its 'geireamh'

Answer 4

when you say gaelic i persume you mean irish or gaeilge

saying gaelic is like asking do you speak "european"

winter = geimhreadh

Pronunced   Give-ru  (connaught dielect).

Samhain pronounced (sow on) is a close comparison but it means feast( of the dead months, the transition from death to life reflecting the changing in the lengths of darkness ie the lenghtning of daylight hours ), it is where Halloween comes from, brought to the US by the irish as is custom here with people called mummers.

Answer 5

to clarify what the first responder said - 'gaelic' can be used to refer to both the Irish and Scottish language (Irish Gaelic, Gaeilge or Irish OR Scots Gaelic and I don't know the other words for the Scottish..). They both come from the Q-Celtic language family - so they are pretty similar...but not the same for sure. Manx (the language from the Isle of Man) is also a Q-Celtic language. P-Celtic languages include Welsh, Cornish and Breton...
