How it works

This is a declarative sentence. '可以说' (kěyǐ shuō) acts as an introductory phrase, meaning 'it can be said' or 'one could say', indicating an opinion or conclusion. The comma separates this introductory clause from the main statement '这是一个好主意' (zhè shì yī gè hǎo zhǔyì), which means 'this is a good idea'. The structure allows for softening a statement or presenting an opinion as a widely accepted truth.

It can be said that today's meeting was very successful.
