How do you pronounce "پدربزرگ" in Farsi?
Say "PEH-dar-bo-ZORG" — literally "big father", with the strongest stress landing on the very last syllable.
pedar-bozorg
As with مادربزرگ, پدر keeps its own first-syllable emphasis internally, but the compound's overall main stress falls on the final syllable of بزرگ.

"پدربزرگم هر روز پیادهروی میکند" ("My grandfather goes for a walk every day") uses the compound verb پیادهروی کردن ("to walk/take a walk", literally "to do foot-going") and هر روز ("every day") placed before the verb, as time expressions typically are in Persian.
Where English speakers slip
As with مادربزرگ, resist treating this as two separate stressed words — it's one compound noun, and the ear expects the strongest emphasis at the very end: pedar-bo-ZORG, not equal stress throughout.
