Toma con un grano de sal

Question

I assume this idiom doesn't work in Spanish. Take it with a grain of salt, I wonder how else you would say it though?

Answer 1

In our dictionary:

to take a story with a pinch or grain of salt -> no creerse del todo una historia

No te lo creas todo, no seas ingenuo...

Answer 2

What about:

No creerse algo al pie de la letra.

Or something like this: "lo tomo como de quien viene".

My big Collins Span -> Eng and Eng -> Span offers "No tomarse algo al pie de la letra." - Moe, Oct 7, 2010

Answer 3

Another option "tomar (algo) con cautela".

Answer 4

No creas todo lo que te dicen

Answer 5

To take a statement with 'a grain of salt' or 'a pinch of salt' means to accept it but to maintain a degree of skepticism about its truth.
