The expression is the same in English
"It's right there under my nose"
and used in the same way as in Serbian/Croatian.. "it was right there under my nose and i didn't see it. how is that possible?!"

He is saying that love will one day find it's way to show him the obvious

Ljubav ce znati
da mi jednoga dana stavi pod nos

Love will know how to
put it under my nose one day

So I'm working on learning Bosnian, but my school stopped offering it as a course once i got here :[ So i'm trying to learn it completely on my own. I have a lot of Bosnian friends, so they teach me little things here and there, but I find this super difficult. I am fluent in German and learned that when i was young, so not knowing the grammar rules and genders and cases is really confusing me, since i just feel like i'm memorizing phrases and their meaning but i don't actually know what each word means. In German nouns have endings like mein, meine, meiner, etc. How is that decided in Bosnian??

[san]

If something "nije naracito naglaseno" does that mean it's not clearly evident or it's not strong?
What is the exact meaning and how would you use this phrase in a sentence?

Thanks!

I found this link about bosnian language. http://home.freeuk.net/iandart/cases.htm
From what I can see it uses similar grammar to Croatian.

[Lydia_the angel]

The literal translation would be:

"It is not particularly pointed out" meaning about something when it is not especially, for sure, said what it is or what things are needed for etc....

Like for example- It is not particularly pointed out (written or said) what qualifications are necessary for this job

[y!]

you can use this one too..It's about serbian grammar, but it's really the same..actually, new bosnian language,as far as I know, is some kind of mixture of serbian and croatian..but for learning grammar, I think you can use whatever you find (serbian, bosnian, croatian)

to say "I miss my love" would I say - nedostaje mi ljubave or would I use the word "promašiti"

[MissEuropa88]

Thanks both of you! They were very helpful! Hopefully soon I will be able to put together sentences instead of just repeating phrases!!

Thanks Lydia!! Great!

well...I miss my love is Nedostaje mi moja ljubav..you can't use verb promašiti here. because it has totaly different meaning..
I will try to explain
nedostajati - miss (when you miss someone, something, like in that sentence you sad - Nedostaje mi moja ljubav, Nedostajes mi "I miss you' etc...)
promašiti - miss (like..."You missed the target" - Promasio si metu)

well, I don't know how clear I was...

hope it's more clear to you..and if it's not, let us know..I will try to find some more examples

[Lydia_the angel]

You are welcome I hope I helped u

[Nur_Demir]

Hvala!!! yes I understand. What about these words for miss:
zakasniti - is this miss as in something also?
propustiti is this the same as promašiti?

zakasniti is - get late..for example 'Zakasnio je" : He got late

and propustiti is..well, it's very similar to promasiti, but I don't know if you can use it every time instead of promasiti...for example...you can't say You missed target - Propustio je metu..in that case, you have to use verb promašiti..

it's more like...You missed the meeting - "Propustio si sastanak"

I know I'm not very good teacher, but it's really strange for me to explain serbian
ok, maybe you could write some sentences on english, I think it's simple to learn on examples
