Are there other ways to say: "you're right"?
Hi there:
In Spanish language we say: "tienes razón", "estás en lo cierto", etc. But I cann't find any synonym for that expression in English (only "you're right").
I would like to use different expressions to say that.
Thanks in advance for your help.

"I would like to use different expressions to say that." It's not necessary. The phrase "you're right" is ALWAYS good. I do not think non-native speakers should deliberately try to add idioms or colloquialisms, but if you enjoy knowing about them...
[Nod and not say anything]
[Not and grunt "Uh-huh."]
"Yes."
"Indeed."
"I see."
"I get it."
"That's true."
"That's so."
"Isn't that true!" (Rarely: "Ain't that the truth?")
"Isn't that so!" (Rarely: "Ain't that so!")
"You bet."
"I agree."
"You said it."
"I couldn't agree more."
These might be regional, or dated, or simply colorful expressions of individual personality--but these are common:
"You hit the nail on the head."
"You can say that again."
"Well said."
"Amen, brother."
"Hear, hear!"
I am not sure if these are in consciously patterned on Spanish, but I've heard both of these expressions used, more than once, by native English speakers who just like the phrases:
"So it is."
"You have the reason."

"that's correct", "I couldn't agree with you more", "absolutely", "why didn't I think of that", "that's just what I was thinking"

Sometimes I just say "absolutely!" or "indeed!"
It works in situations such as this:
"I think that meeting was useless. We didn't decide anything at all! We should've stayed at home!"
"Absolutely!" (You're right/ I agree/ You're absolutely right)
Mind you, you could always just say, "Yes."

You could say 'That's true' or 'I agree with you'.
