À propos de という風に

Like ふうに, the grammar point indicating that something is being done 'in the way of (A)', というふうに uses the same suffix of (ふう) 'wind', 'air', to express that something is being done 'as if to say (A)', 'as if to suggest (A)', or 'in such a way that (A)'.

As this construction is just a combination of という 'to say', and ふうに 'in a manner', the literal meaning of this expression is similar to 'in a way that would say that (A)'. This simply highlights the speaker's uncertainty about what the actual situation is, and that they are only commenting on appearances.

というふうに may be seen directly after verbs, or after nouns expressing the way in which something is being done. The (B) portion of these phrases will then indicate exactly what is being done 'in a way as if to say (A)'.

Caution

Because という often quotes the entire statement before it, it will be important to remember this when figuring out exactly what というふうに is emphasizing.

        I think it’s just intended to say that there can be a bunch of stuff before the と.
        Like in this example sentence from the grammar point:
        私は掃除、母は晩御飯、父は暖炉に火を付ける、という風にみんなが客の来訪のために、準備した。

        Hey @Hadros232232 !

        という風に is used as ‘as if to suggest that/ in such a way that’, while ようにいう is used as ‘request/ order to do (in such a way)’, and it is used when you want to request or order someone to do something is a specific way.

        秘書が仕事を辞めるという風に聞いていた。
        I heard something as if to suggest that the secretary decided to quit.

        社長は秘書に仕事を辞めるように言っていた。
        The CEO of the company was telling the secretary to quit her job.

        We hope that this answers your question!
