Use doğru for something correct or right, such as an answer, address or road.

The idea

Cevap doğru says the answer is correct; doğru yol is the right road. Context identifies what is being evaluated.

Examples

  • Bu cevap doğru.This answer is correct.
  • Doğru bir adres yazıyorum.I am writing a correct address.
  • Saat yanlış değil, doğru.The clock is not wrong; it is correct.
  • Doğru cevaplar burada.The correct answers are here.
  • Doğru yoldayız.We are on the right road.
  • Listede doğru isim var.The correct name is on the list.
