意味
Stating an undeniable fact or truth that is evident to all.
文化的背景
The phrase aligns with the German concept of 'Streitkultur' (debate culture), where acknowledging objective facts is the first step to a productive argument. Austrians might use this phrase, but in spoken Viennese, they might prefer 'Des is fix' (That's for sure) for a similar level of certainty, albeit less formal. In Swiss High German, this phrase is common in official documents and the 'Neue Zürcher Zeitung' (NZZ), reflecting Swiss precision. In German universities, using this phrase in a 'Hausarbeit' (term paper) is a sign of good academic style, showing you can identify consensus in your field.

よくある質問
10 問Not quite. 'Es ist wahr' is a simple statement of truth. 'Es ist nicht zu leugnen' is more rhetorical; it implies that someone *might* try to deny it, but they would be wrong.
Only if you are discussing something very serious or if you are being intentionally ironic/intellectual. Otherwise, it's too formal.
'Leugnen' is often used for broad truths or facts. 'Abstreiten' is more common when someone is accused of something and says 'I didn't do it!'
This is a special German grammar construction (sein + zu + Infinitiv) that replaces the passive voice and adds a meaning of 'can' or 'must'.
Grammatically yes, but it makes no sense. It would mean 'It must be denied,' which is almost never what you want to say.
Yes, very much so. It's great for acknowledging market trends or project results in a professional way.
No, it sounds objective. However, if you use it to state an opinion as a fact, it can sound arrogant.
The past tense is 'Es war nicht zu leugnen.'
Usually, it comes at the beginning. You can say 'Dass er recht hat, ist nicht zu leugnen,' but that is less common.
Extremely. You will see it in almost every political commentary in 'Der Spiegel' or 'Die Zeit'.
