How do you pronounce "ionad"

Vexorg

I was wondering how you pronounce the word Ionad (as gealige).

And is it the correct translation for "Shelter"

Thanks

Unnad. It means 'centre' as in: Ionad siopadóireacht

NothingMan

ee un ad, would be how i'd imagine it.

i thought it was un ad

uh-nad (soft "h")

Wow, that was quick - ah the wonder of boards.ie:)

The English Irish translator I used, translated shelter as ionad, do you happen to know the translation of Shelter?

Thanks

I'd say un-id.

Yep, un ad will do.

dídean would be the word for shelter. I assume the context is to give shelter: ie:
dídean a thabhairt do dhuine.

Vexorg

Great

Would that be dee dean, I am unsure how the fada affects pronouncation.

Agreed.
I'd use foscadh or scáthlán. We also use the word Seoltán for a school shelter/bike shed.

Abair.ie will pronounce dídean with or without the fada so you can hear the difference
