Significado
Used to agree that a statement or fact is correct.
Contexto cultural
In the US, 'That's true' is often used to be polite even if you only partially agree. It's a way to avoid direct conflict. British speakers might use 'Too true' to express strong agreement, often with a touch of dry humor or irony. Australians might shorten it even further to 'True' or 'Too right' in casual settings. In international business, 'That's true' is a safe, neutral way to acknowledge a point without making a binding commitment.
The 'Nod' Rule
Always nod your head slightly when saying 'That's true' to make it feel more natural and sincere.
Avoid Overuse
If you say 'That's true' to every single sentence, you might sound like you aren't really listening. Mix it up with 'Right' or 'I see.'
