English term or phrase: Animal instinct
Dear all,

Can we translate "Animal instinct" in:

"He has an animal instinct that can't be denied"

as لديه "حدس قوي" لا يمكن نكرانه or "غريزة قوية" ?? What is the right translation for that?

Thanks a lot.

animal instinct
غريزة حيوانية


Explanation:
أنا أقترح ترجمتها غريزة حيوانية لأنه من استنتاجي لمعنى العبارة من عدة سياقات أرى أن لها دلالة تقترن بفقدان قدرة التمييز عن الحيونات وعدم اعتمادهما على العقل في تقدير الأشياء بل على فطرتها.

Objectives

Students will:
1. understand the difference between instinct and learned behavior
2. understand how an animal's instincts and behaviors help it to survive
3. understand the connection between environment and behavior

animal instinct
حس فطري


Explanation:
الحقيقة أن المعنى الحقيقي هو الغريزة الحيوانية ولكن إذا أردت الاستعاضة بما معناه أظن أن الحس الفطري تعطي المغزى المطلوب

agree  Sam21: أو ربما حس غريزي. ربما كانت لفظة حيواني مقصودة من الكاتب هنا لدلالات أدبية أو إسقاط صبغة الحيوانية على الموصوف بنوع من التحايل.

animal instinct
حدس لا يخطئ


Explanation:
The meaning is far from the literal connotation of "animal instinct", and is in my opinion not related at all to animals, but is used to describe
حس او حدس أصيل متجذر في داخله، لم يخُنه أبدا

agree  Sam21: حدس غريزي أفضل. هو لم يحكم إن كانت غريزته هذه تخطئ أم تصيب. والسياق لا يعطي إلا أقل القليل لفهم مدلول النص.
