زمینه فرهنگی
Americans are generally very direct. Saying 'That's wrong' in a business meeting is often seen as being helpful and efficient, though it's still better to be polite. British people often find 'That's wrong' too aggressive. They prefer 'understatement' and 'hedging' to avoid conflict. In Japan, direct disagreement is often avoided to maintain 'Wa' (harmony). A native speaker might say 'That's wrong' and find that Japanese colleagues become very quiet. German culture values accuracy and directness. 'Das ist falsch' is used frequently and is not necessarily considered rude; it's just being precise.
Use 'Actually'
Adding 'Actually' before 'that's wrong' makes you sound much more like a native speaker and slightly more polite.
Don't point!
In some cultures, saying 'That's wrong' while pointing your finger is very aggressive. Keep your hands relaxed.
