Learn English – phrase like “you have right” meaning “you are right”

phrase-meaningphrase-usage

I use the phrase "you have right" quite often when I want to say that somebody is right about something. But today I was corrected that there is no such saying, and that "you have a right" can mean only that somebody has some rights to do something.

What is the truth?

The correct phrase for the action you're describing would be "You are right". "You have right" is not a valid English phrase, although "You have it right" would be understandable to an English speaker.

As you were correctly told, "You have a right" means that you are stating that someone has a right (To do something, to say something, to be something).
