A friend asked how to say "Always trust your gut."

I came up with Earbsa do caolanaich 's gach am.

How is that? Thanks.

this can't be translated literally man, it doesn't mean anything in gaelic

Is there a way to express the equivalent thought? Trust yourself? Trust your instincts?

What one needs, in this instance, is a Book of Sayings. I may be wrong, put I think Poor Alexander fae Australia may have such a thing.

'S leamsa leabhar mar sin gu dearbh. Rannsaichidh mi ann an nochd. (Tha mi aig m'obair an-dràsda)

I own such a book. I'll look it up tonight. (I'm at work at the moment)

Tha mi duilich ach chan eil rud ann leis an ciall.

Sorry but there's nothing in the book with this meaning.

Them we can safely invent a new one, e.g.

Earb à d' imfhios. (trust to your intuition)
