I'll keep it short with an example, which should explain the difference:
1 + 1 = 2 (lughbej 'oH)
The answer is *right*
Die Antwort ist *richtig*
3 + 7 = 98 (lughbe'bej 'oH. muj'a'?)
The answer is *wrong*
Die Antwort ist *falsch*
Die Antwort ist *nicht richtig*
Someone says: "1 + 1 = 2" (lughbej ghaH)
Someone else answers: You are *right*
Someone else answers: Du hast *recht*
Someone says: "3 + 7 = 98" (lughbe'bej ghaH. muj'a'?)
Someone else answers: You are *wrong*
Someone else answers: Du hast *unrecht*
Someone else answers: Du hast *nicht recht*
Does this explain the difference?
Quvar.
