Question about Japanese
While watching youtube, I've noticed that Japanese often using the "という” sentence in coversation, especially when they're explaining or reporting something. The sentence I often heard is "というところ"、”というわけ”、”というのは”.
What do they mean and when should you using these sentence?

This is a difficult question. 😹
と: means similar to "as".

彼が怒ったのは殴られたからというわけではありません。（He didn't get angry because he was hit.）※わけ means "reason".
