it can reasonably be said
Used before a statement to say that good reasons can be given for it, but some people may not agree.
Модель употребления:
arguably, [clause] / [be] arguably [adjective/noun phrase]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use "arguably" when they want to show very strong personal opinion, similar to "definitely". However, "arguably" actually softens the statement and shows that it can be discussed or disagreed with. Another common mistake is putting it in the wrong place in the sentence; the most natural positions are at the beginning ("Arguably, ...") or before the main adjective or noun phrase ("arguably the best", "is arguably the best").
