To all intents and purposes, growth has been explosive. Explanation: I would like to make the same reservation as Marijke. A more idiomatic translation may well be possible is the phrase is part of a sentence. |

see detail Explanation: What Marijke offers is fine, but you could say it more concisely: We can justifiably speak of a explosive growth... (or: It is justifiable to speak of explosive growth...) (I don't always agree with Word's utter rejection of the passive voice, but in general passive is used in Dutch a lot more than in English) |
