Usage Note

Exactamente is the standard reply to confirm you agree completely, equivalent to 'exactly' or 'precisely' in English. It is interchangeable with exacto as a one-word response but sounds more emphatic. Avoid confusing it with justamente, which often implies a sense of 'rightly so' or 'as it happens'.

Examples

"Eso es exactamente lo que dije."

Natural Translation

That is exactly what I said.
