可以说，我们取得了成功 (It can be said that we achieved success.)

Grammar & Usage

fixed expression / declarative clause

neutral

How it works

This phrase uses '可以说' (kěyǐ shuō, literally 'can say'), which acts as an introductory clause meaning 'it can be said that' or 'one could say that'. It is followed by a comma and then the main clause '我们取得了成功' (wǒmen qǔdé le chénggōng, 'we achieved success'), where '取得' (qǔdé) means 'to obtain/achieve' and '成功' (chénggōng) means 'success'. The particle '了' (le) indicates the completion of the action 'achieved'.
