To be correct in one's statement or opinion.
خلفية ثقافية
In Spain, 'Llevar la razón' is very common and slightly more emphatic than 'tener razón'. It sounds more idiomatic in the peninsula. In many Latin American countries, 'Tener razón' is the standard. Adding 'toda' (Tienes toda la razón) is a very common way to show enthusiastic agreement. The phrase is often used with 'dar' (dar la razón) to mean 'to concede' or 'to agree with someone' even if you might not fully believe them.
Avoid 'Ser'
Never say 'Soy razón'. It's the #1 mistake for English speakers.
The 'Toda' Trick
Add 'toda' (Tienes toda la razón) to sound much more native and enthusiastic.
