Information
  • Aというところだ is an expression meaning “the stage/level/degree that one would call A” and is used to describe a speaker's feelings/opinion/estimate guess about the current stage/situation. The speaker is not completely sure, but the degree/amount is about/approximately A. Often implies that the amount/degree/activity is “at best” (usually together with せいぜい) A - it is below A level and the speaker does not consider it to be a big/important thing. Often used with phrases expressing quantity (quantifiers).
