Related words 感動する is a general, everyday verb for being moved or impressed, while 胸を打つ specifically evokes a poignant, heart-stirring impact.
心を打つ means much the same as 胸を打つ, 'to touch one's heart,' but 胸を打つ carries a slightly more visceral, chest-tightening nuance.
Written forms 胸むね を 打う つ
Standard kanji spelling for this idiomatic expression.
胸むね をうつ
Kana spelling of the verb part; sometimes used for emphasis or in informal writing.
Etymology An idiomatic phrase combining 胸 (chest/heart) and 打つ (to strike), literally 'to strike the chest.' The figurative meaning of being emotionally moved is a natural extension of the physical sensation of a tight chest during strong feelings.
