Hi, could someone verify if this is the correct way to say "One day at a time" please? Thank you!

No, that would be "one day at the time".

Perhaps:

Lá amháin san iarraidh "One day at a time"

or

Lá amháin sa turas "One day at a time"

Another similar expression:

Ó lá go lá "From day to day"

Await further input ...

Except that includes the word 'the', so I wonder just how wrong lá amháin ag an am really is? I'm sure I have heard duine amháin ag an am before for 'one person at a time'.

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with "Lá amháin san iarraidh".. how exactly do you pronounce that?

Though you could probably also get away with LAW a WINE sun_ERA, if it's easier. :wink:
