The sentence “Tienes razón, no te lo puedo decir” is in Spanish and it translates to “You are right, I can’t tell it to you” in English. Here’s a breakdown of the sentence:

– “Tienes” – This comes from the verb “tener” which means “to have”. In this context, “tienes” is the second person singular present tense, meaning “you have”.

– “Razón” – This word means “reason” or “right”. When it follows “tienes,” the phrase “tienes razón” means “you are right”.

– “No” – This is a negation word that means “not”.

– “Te” – A direct or indirect object pronoun meaning “to you” or “for you”.

– “Lo” – A direct object pronoun meaning “it” or “that”.

– “Puedo” – From the verb “poder” meaning “to be able to/can”. “Puedo” is the first person singular present tense, so “I can”.

– “Decir” – This means “to say” or “to tell”.

Together, “no te lo puedo decir” is a negated action translating to “I can’t tell it to you”.

Tips to remember it:

– Associate “tienes razón” as a common expression for acknowledging someone’s correctness.
– Remember that “poder” changes to “puedo” to say “I can”.
– Pronouns “te” (to you) and “lo” (it) come before the conjugated verb in Spanish.

Alternate ways to say the same thing in Spanish might include:

– “Es verdad, no puedo decírtelo.”
– “Estás en lo cierto, no me es posible contarte.”
– “Correcto, no puedo revelártelo.”
