Hit the nail on the head

When someone hits the nail on the head, they do or say exactly the right thing and precisely describe the cause of a problem or situation. They get to the point without any difficulty, just like a nail goes straight in if it is hit on the head with a hammer.

Example

Sajid: I don’t think we can work with them. They don’t speak English well.

Karl: You’ve hit the nail on the head, Sajid! It’s a big problem understanding them.
