How to say "you can say that"? I wanted to tell someone that it's possible to use a certain word in German, so I told him "Mann kann jener sagen" - is this even remotely correct?

"Man kann sagen, dass....." - It can be said that... / One can say that ... /You can say that ... "Das kann man sagen." - That can be said. Concerning your comment under Patrick: You use "man". "Mann" is the German word for "man" while the German word "man" (pronounced like "Mann") is like the English words you/one in terms of general Information.
