Welcome to the forum, DZIUO.

Always tell us the source and author of any text you quote, please.
 
Found it in one of the shared decks on Ankiweb.
I'd reckon you'd need an account to see the content.
Description
A large collection of Basic English idiom and Their equivalent in Persian.
The front side of cards filled with Persian Translation and the English idiom is on the back side.
I know the equivalent Persian, however not sure whether the English version makes any sense to a native English speaker.
Now, may I pick your brain?
 
Hello.

I suspect that it's similar to, "He knows what he's doing." Context would help. However, there isn't any, is there?
 
**A large collection of basic English idioms and their equivalents in Persian.
**The front side of each card has a Persian saying. The back side has the English equivalent.
 
**I know the Persian saying, but I'm not sure if the English version makes any sense to a native English speaker.

As I said, "He knows what he's doing" is my best guess.
 
Yes, it's natural. It does mean "I know what I'm doing."

See an example of it in use here.
