really nitpicky, but in the definition, there's one bracket on the side of the last A... ^.^;;

Hi,


I read some sentences where "というわけだ" seams not to be used as a reason/explanation, but more in a conclusive/result/how it works way :


けてしまえば、ができるというです。If I finish all the work now, I can have an easy day tomorrow.

なるほど。ないというわけだ。I see. So it turns out nobody comes.

しているから、あんたとわないというわけだ。I'm married so I can't date you.



Do I misunderstand something ?

I'd consider というわけだ and わけだ to be separate expressions because they do mean two different things, as you noted.

They are kind of related, if you think of わけ as "circumstance, situation" and という as "such a":


わけだ -"situation exists..." to provide a logical reason for, or to produce the expected result.

というわけだ -"such a situation exists..." that something did or didn't, can or can't happen.

Thank you for your answers, however I am still puzzled about how to use というわけだ.


From what you said, its traduction depends on sentence's context, and so we can have :


1) [sentence + という] + わけだ (your part 1) => to provide logical / obvious / expected : reason / situation / result


けて、がでというです。If I finish all the work now, I can have an easy day tomorrow.

なるほど。ないというわけだ。I see. So it turns out nobody comes.

しているか 、あんたとわないというわけだ。I'm married so I can't date you.


=> supposing here that という is used only to emphasize the reason / situation / result ?



2) [sentence]  + というわけだ (your part 2) => to state a possible reason / explanation


せるのはアメリカでしたし,んでいたとだ。The reason I can speak Japanese is because I studied it for seven years in America, and have been living in Japan for four.

るはよくするとうわけだ。The reason that I can graduate is that I study hard.

えてくれるはるというわけだ。The reason I'm here is to teach children english.
