Yes, in very informal settings, just saying 'Pravda' with a nodding head is a common way to agree.

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss or your best friend.

'To je pravda' agrees with the fact. 'Máš pravdu' agrees with the person.

Simply add 'nie': 'To nie je pravda.'

No, use 'Áno' (Yes) or 'Prší' (It's raining). 'To je pravda' is for agreeing with a statement, not answering a question.

Yes, like most Slovak 'r' sounds, it is an alveolar tap, similar to the 'tt' in the American English word 'better'.

'To' refers to the whole idea or statement mentioned before, not specifically to the word 'pravda'.

It's grammatically correct but sounds like you're a philosopher or a lawyer. Stick to 'To je pravda'.

For a formal 'You're right', use 'Máte pravdu'.

It literally means 'holy truth' and is used to mean 'the absolute truth'.
