  • The stuctrue of 你说得对 likes 你跑得快 (you run fast), 你说的对=你说的是对的 What you said is right. – xenophōn Jun 20 '18 at 05:15

Both 你说的对 and 你说得对 could be valid.

你说的对 means 你说的内容对：what you said is right.

你说得对 means either 'you said it right' or 'it's right/correct for you to say it'. 得 here is an effect or result complement.

However, 'you are right' should be interpreted as '你是对的'. Specially for "You are right in terms of xxx": 在xxx方面，你是对的 or 从xxx角度(来看/来说), 你是对的.

For example, you are right in terms of time or money: 从时间或金钱的角度来说， 你是对的。
