You are absolutely right.
Best Answer
They can mean almost the same thing, although I perceive a slight difference.
means that it is certain that you are right.
means that you are completely right. One couldn't be "more right", as it were.
So, grammatically, I'd say that in the first sentence, definitely modifies the whole sentence (the verb), whereas in the second absolutely modifies right.
