A veces también se usó "ándale" para significar que "tienes razón" especialmente en conversaciones muy informales.

Bueno, esto de los modismos siempre cambia según las generaciones y las modas... creo que estoy envejeciendo

This is the best description of ándale in Mexico that I have read. Though it literally means to walk, to go, to travel, to be (anda triste), to ride (anda a caballo), to function (el auto anda bien) it is often used in slang to mean "you are right", "hurry", etc., and the accent is usually on the first syllable but can be on the last syllable for extra emphasis...as in andaleeé..wow, you were right!! or hurry uuppp!! just as in other words that we put emphasis on a different syllable for effect. An example in English would be...incrédible, which normally has the accent on the 2nd syllable...but for emphasis we often say INcredible.

Thats my take on ándale Saludos
