The Graves of my Ancestors #gaelic #ancestors

In Scottish Gaelic, you can say:
"Na h-uaighean mo shinnsirean"
Na h-uaighean = The graves (or burial places)
mo = my
shinnsirean = ancestors

"Na": Simple, pronounced like "nuh" in "nut" (but shorter).
"h-uaighean":
The h softens the uaighean, pronounced as "hoo-uh-yen" or "hoo-uh-yeen."
uaigh (grave) sounds like "oo-ay" but becomes "hoo-uh" in this form.
"mo": A straightforward "muh," rhyming with "duh."
"shinnsirean":
shinn is pronounced like "heen" with a soft "h."
sirean is pronounced "shee-run," with a gentle roll on the r (optional).
