علم غيب که ندارم

Question

به انگلیسی اگه بخواییم بگیم: «علم غيب که ندارم» میگیم:

I'm not a mind reader.

In my opinion, it's a bit different with the meaning of that Persian phrase. However, it can be sensible in some cases.

maybe you're right in that we can hardly find 100% compatible equivalent terms in even two neighboring languages, but:

Cambridge Dictionary: mind reader: a person who knows another person's thoughts without being told them. Example: Why didn't you tell me you weren't happy with the situation? - I'm not a mind reader, you know!

همونطور که عرض کردم با این که در مواردی میتواند به آن معنی ترجمه شود موافقم. ولی در موارد زیادی نیز این عبارت به معنی فرد ذهن خوان می باشد:

someone with the power of communicating thoughts directly
