I guess for this, it would make sense to say that and follow it with an easy situation.

(I think it’s easy to tie my shoes)
“The problem can be solved as easily as I can tie my shoes.”

I hope that helped!

Thanks a lot!

But this sentence "The problem can be solved as easily" has to be a standalone sentence. Could you provide context, given that?

@leopard10 Ahh I see. Well, the only situation I can think of where that would work as a standalone sentence would be in a conversation like this:

“The problem emerged so easily!”
“Well, the problem can be solved as easily.”

Thank you very much!!
By the way, are you really a bilingual in American English and Turkish?
Then what's your real first language? Just out of curiosity :) Maybe did you grow up in the US since you were born there?

It’s no problem!! and yes, I am! My parents are Turkish immigrants so I was born and raised in the US, but I knew Turkish before I knew English, as my parents’ Turkish was a lot better than their English so they used mainly Turkish with me when I was a kid!

Oh, haha, but it seems like you're more fluent at English than Turkish, seeing your profile.

@leopard10 Yes! Since I use my English a LOT more than I use my Turkish, my Turkish has deteriorated over the years

I'm sorry to ask again..

If "just" is added, "The problem can be solved just as easily", does this sentence mean the same as "The problem can be solved as easily"?

Thank you very much!

As for your context, can I think of "“Well, the problem can be solved as easily.” as "Well, the problem can be solved as easily (as the problem emerged)"?
