～と(も)言える: "You could say..."

Introduction

Heya! Welcome to yet another lesson that uses the verb 言いう!

But don't worry, this isn't another ～という variant, we'll just be looking at 言いう in its potential form!

Now without further ado... It's! Grammar time!

～と言いえる: I think X, but I'm going to beat around the bush a bit

  (Statement)と(も)言いえる(でしょう・だろう)
  Example:
  → このカレーは世界せかい一いちとも言いえるでしょう。
  "One could say that this is the best curry in the world.”

As you can likely already tell (because you're a grammar wiz at this point), ～と言いえる is simply a combination of the と quotation marker, with the potential form of the verb 言いう, "to say". Then, there are a couple of optional additions: the も particle and でしょう・だろう, but we'll get to those later.
