you're not wrong 

Something someone says when they dispute what you're saying but does so in an underhanded way. It's often followed by a "but".

Protip: you can replace many "you're not wrong, but..." statements directly with "I disagree with you because..." and you wont come across badly.
You're not wrong, but the truth is more nuanced than you're letting on.

You’re not wrong

The other definitions are not wrong ;) but there is another use. “You’re not wrong” can also be strong agreement. It can indicate that the speaker is surprised by the statement being agreed with. I can imagine a non English speaker would be driven nuts by the fact that this phrase can mean anything between you’re not really right, and you are really right! It’s the intonation, stress, and speed that makes the difference. It would be wildly difficult to explain in a space like this. It in writing, the latter is sometimes indicated with an exclamation point.
My sister had told me she could tell when I am thinking in German and make an effort to speak in English. I had never noticed this (it’s been 25 years since I left Germany so this surprised me). Me: “you’re not wrong!”

Me to husband: “She’s not wrong!”
