you were right
Admitting another's accuracy
An acknowledgment that someone's earlier claim, prediction, or judgment turned out to be correct.
The phrase often carries undertones of reluctant admission—conceding a point after initially doubting or disagreeing: Fine, you were right about the shortcut.
Sometimes said with genuine appreciation: You were right to warn me about him.
