Noun

じじ • (jiji) 

1. 爺: grandfather; old man
2. 時事: the day's events

Usage notes

This term for grandfather or someone of the same age is rather casual. A more formal version appropriate for an old man is お爺さん and a more appropriate term for a grandfather outside of the speaker's family is お祖父さん.
