    Táim ag iarraidh smaoineamh ar seo. Táim cinnte gur úsáid mo mhúinteoirí 'common sense' nuair a bhí mé ar scoil. Ach an bhfuil Gaeilge air?

    GRMA!

    Foclóir Uí Dhónaill and Foclóir de Bhaldraithe both cite it simply as Ciall, without any adjective or additional noun.

    I suppose Irish doesn't feel the need to differentiate between common sense and uncommon sense. :)

    I'd say ciall chomónta as there is already ciall cheannaithe (acquired sense).
