Is "El elefante sí es gris" a correct sentence?

Question

When I watched a video lesson about colors, I heard the teacher say, "Cierto. El elefante sí es gris." I just want to make sure if this is the correct sentence I heard because the word "sí" is put in the middle of the sentence, not at the beginning of the sentence. And is "sí" translated as "indeed or really" here?

Answer 1

You got it! The usage of sí here is essentially like saying indeed.

The elephant is indeed grey!

It's for emphasis. I believe thinking of it as indeed is the best way to go about it.

Here is a lesson I found on Google if you are interested.
