Meaning
An informal expression of agreement, approval, or understanding.
Cultural Background
In North India, 'सही है' is used constantly in daily life, often even as a filler while listening to someone talk. In modern offices, it is used between colleagues to confirm tasks, though it is less common with superiors. Young people often shorten it to just 'Sahi' in texts.
Intonation matters
A rising intonation makes it sound like a question; a flat intonation makes it a statement.
Don't over-use
Using it after every sentence can sound repetitive. Mix it with 'बिल्कुल' or 'हाँ'.
