Examples & key points

彼の演奏には心を打つものがあります。

Kare no ensō ni wa kokoro o utsu mono ga arimasu.

There is something in his playing that moves you.

ものがある grants a quality hard to name — an understated yes

その意見には考えさせられるものがある。

Sono iken ni wa kangaesaserareru mono ga aru.

That view gives you something to think about.

Common in reviews, because it stops short of a verdict

直接ほめるより奥ゆかしく響きます。

Chokusetsu homeru yori okuyukashiku hibikimasu.

It sounds more refined than praising outright.

In Japanese the understated often carries more weight
