Understanding とは言えないものが


> つまり、あまり一般的な好みとは言えないものが、お好きな方を指す言葉のようですが・・・・

There’s this sentence that I found in the internet. I can kind of understand
that the later part means, “it appears to be a word to refer to people who
like such things” But I’m so confused with the part before that especially
“とは言えないものが”.




You can split the sentence by words like this:

> あまり/一般的な/好み/と/は/言え/ない/ **もの/が**

  * 言えない - can't say
  * もの(=物) - things
  * が - (subject marker)

So that basically means, "I mean, it appears to be a word to refer to people
whose taste differs from general ones."
