Saying "That's exactly what I meant"


One of the things I struggle the most sometimes is finding an expression in
Japanese that equals to the one I'm used to use in English.

In this case, I was talking in english to this girl and she transcribed what I
said to Japanese, and I wanted to say "That's exactly what I meant".

I feel like そうだよ is a bit vague in this case, so I came up with:

> 僕はそれって意味しましたね

but now I have this gut feeling that I'm using Japanese to express an english
expression, therefore she'll maybe not understand it.

So, is there a better way to put it?




It depends on the situation but you could say:

[まさにそれ](http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%95%E3%81%AB%E3%81%9D%E3%82%8C)
- exactly that!!

or

それを言おうと思った - that's what I meant to say
