Register : Formal - Basic
Slow
Normal
IPA : / ɑ̃n‿ efɛ /
This is an expression that we use very often. It means "Indeed / That's true / It's true / That's right".
A simple example: you are asked: "C'est vrai que tu as 25 ans ?" (Is it true that you are 25 years old?) you can answer: "Oui, en effet" (Yes, indeed) or "Oui, c'est vrai" (Yes, that's true)
Note that "En effet" is formal register and "C'est vrai" is neutral register. So if you want something more informal, you can use instead: "Carrément" (Absolutely).
Few antonyms:
Dialogue
C'est tellement beau Paris
Paris is so beautiful
Oui, c'est à couper le souffle
Yes, it's breathtaking
En effet, ça me manque !
Indeed, I miss it
