A: × I have a hunch that my daughter and I look alike.
✓ I have a hunch that my daughter and I will look alike.

Because “having a hunch” means that you are making a *guess* about something based on your intuition, you can’t use it if you already know what your daughter looks like—it sounds like you’re trying to guess what she will look like in the future.

If you are trying to say that you think she will look like you IN THE FUTURE, you could say: “I have a hunch that my daughter and I will look alike.”

However, this only makes sense if (1) your daughter is either very young (a newborn baby or infant), or (2) if she’s still in the womb, and you know that it will be a baby girl, and you think that she will look similar to you once she’s born. You could also (3) use “I have a hunch that my daughter and I will look alike,” if you are hoping that you will have a daughter someday in the distant future, even if you aren’t having a child anytime soon, and guessing what your future child might look like.


Otherwise, if your daughter is already more than a few years old AT PRESENT, you would just say:
“I think that my daughter and I look alike.”

If she is young, and you don’t look similar yet, but you think that she will look more like you after she grows up, you could use this sentence: “I have a hunch that my daughter will look like me when she grows up.”

A: It's a common expression.
"I have a hunch that she's up to something."
"How do you know?" "I've got a hunch."

A: "Hunch" is when you have a guess about a question or situation based off of minimum information, but you cannot say the information says your answer is correct. "Gut" is when you decide an answer is correct but you have no information to say your answer is correct. "Intuition" is when you have experience or knowledge from the past and you decide your answer based on the information or knowledge from the past.

You may use "gut" if you feel your body say something is true too. When you "listen to your gut," the phrase means you are listening to your emotions for the right answers.

For example,

"I have intuition that a ball will fall to the floor because I have seen a ball fall to the floor before."
"I have intuition that a pot of water will boil because I have seen a pot of water boil before."

"I have a hunch the thief went down this grassy road because I see that a branch on a tree has been broken." <- This person has a hunch because the person does not know if the branch breaker was a person or an animal exactly. However, an animal or a person can break a branch.

"My gut told me something was wrong with that street. The street was silent, but my body wanted to move away and run. I could feel fear in my body." <- This person's gut could be wrong. A silent street does not mean danger is in the street. However, the body, or "gut" told the person something was wrong.
"I listened to my gut and applied for the job I saw on the internet. I did not know if I would get the job, but I applied. Something felt good about applying to the job in my gut." <- There is no evidence the job will be good if the person has not been to the job. However, the person thought the job would be good because of their gut.
