kažkuria prasme turi
Explanation:
Truputi nepagavai prasminių grupių (čia tipiška šnekamoji kalba, tik tiek, kad anglai neišskiria įterpinių "sort of", "kind of" kableliais.

Pabandyk perskaityti dabar:
I guess he does, sort of, have a "dorky charm"
išmesk "sort of":
I guess he does have a "dorky charm"

Taigi:

Manau, kad jis, kažkuria prasme, turi "niekšelio žavesio"

arba

Manau, kad jis turi savotiško "niekšelio žavesio"

Žinoma, vietoje "niekšelio" galima sugalvoti tinkamesnių epitetų

''tipo'' turi


Explanation:
Šiaip visiškai sutinku su Romualdu, bet žiūrint kiek formalus kontekstas, galima būtų versti ir ''tipo'' turi kaip mes dažnai savo šnekamojoje lietuvių kalboje sakome.

  -> Sutinku, kad formalioje kalboje nevartotinas, bet dėl to ir minėjau, kad jei kontekstas neformalus arba visiškai neformalus, pvz. slengo vertimas ir pan., šis variantas tiktų.

turi kažkokio


Explanation:
Pvz., "Jis turi kažkokio kvailo žavesio". Manau, čia tokia situacija, kai vaikinas yra nevykėlis, tačiau tas nevykėliškumas yra žavingas ir traukia, pvz., Beno Stilerio personažas visose tose romantinėse komedijose.
