About ところを見ると
ところを見ると is a set phrase in Japanese that highlights the situation or place of (A), before examining it subjectively. This often comes across simply as 'judging from (A)', or 'seeing that (A)'. Literally, it can be thought of as 'if looking at the aspect of (A)', before the speaker will then go on to state what their judgment is.

What is the difference between からすると and ところを見ると?
Fuga
Hey @Whologist !
The main difference between からすると and ところを見ると is that ところを見ると has the nuance that you are making a conclusion based on what you are seeing or are sure about, and it is used with verbs. Although からすると has a similar nuance, it has a stronger nuance that the speaker is making an assumption based on what the they heard, saw, or read, and it is used with nouns.
We hope that answers your question!
