Breakdown of Έχεις δίκιο, αυτό το λεωφορείο αργεί πάντα το απόγευμα.
Questions & Answers about Έχεις δίκιο, αυτό το λεωφορείο αργεί πάντα το απόγευμα.
Because έχω δίκιο is the normal Greek idiom for to be right.
- έχεις = you have
- δίκιο = right, justification, or reason
So Greek expresses this idea as you have right, not you are right.
A less natural learner-style translation like είσαι σωστός would usually mean you are correct in a more literal sense, but it is not the everyday idiom used here.
έχεις is:
- the present tense
- 2nd person singular
- from the verb έχω = to have
So it means you have when speaking to one person informally.
Related forms:
- έχω = I have
- έχεις = you have
- έχει = he/she/it has
If you were speaking formally or to more than one person, you would say έχετε δίκιο.
