Usage Note

Razón appears in the key phrase tener razón ('to be right') — the verb is tener, not ser or estar. Por esta razón means 'for this reason'. Con razón means 'rightly so, no wonder'. The plural razones means 'reasons'. Do not confuse with ración ('portion, ration'), which sounds similar.

Examples

"Tienes razón en lo que dices."
