to some extent

phrase

Partly; in part. Generally speaking, in the summer the ore from Kiruna is sent to Narvik, and that from Gällivare to Luleå, but, as Luleå is not ice-free (as is Narvik), all traffic in the winter must go to the latter, though this is to some extent mitigated by the fact that the output of the mines tends to be lower
Similar: to an extent, somewhat, to a degree, in a measure
