No thats would be "Ga i aer". Though they are pronounced pretty much the same.

"Au" is different to "Ai" in the north since up here we pronounce "u" like you do in french whereas in the south they pronounce it like an "ee" sound. "Ae" can either be "ah-eh" as in "aer" or it can form a dipthong and be pronounced "ey" as in words like "Aeddfed" (Mature) and "Gaeaf" (Winter - pronounced "Gey-av". To here the differences go to "Forvo.com" and use the words "Gair", "Aer", and "Aeddfed". Try the word "Pethau" too though this will be different depending on if they have pronounced it formally with the full "Au" ending (which again differs depending on North/South) or if they pronounce it colloquially which typically means they don't pronounce the "u" at all.
