"Você tem direitos."

Translation: You have rights.

[Michel_Wang]

As far as I know, in Spanish/Portuguese "derecho/direito" has both meaning (direction "right" and human "right") similar to English.

[niiin3]

yes, this is correct

[Codosaurus]

Yes, and in French (droit) too, as in "La Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme".

[itsokaywemakelam]

Is this use of "rights" correct?

[erudis]

Yes.

[fredodo]

It is correct, but it seems there is a confusion between the different meanings of direito. We are in the lesson on Directions, so I suppose it would be more coherent to put a sentence with the meaning "on the right".

[woolfool]

I can only agree with you. This meaning of this word should not be used here.

[DiemDias]

Does that mean that "direitos" means rights as in "human rights"?

[ArthurSilvaBoff]

Yes, it does.

[bigglesworth]

I think duolingo does try to teach multiple meanings of a word at once. It could do so more clearly.

[M.KKJJ]

"Direito" is directly connected to law, advocacy and politics area. example: "Faculdade de Direito"(Law School). And "Direita" is used for directions, like: "Vire para a direita"(turn right) or "mão direita"(right hand)
