The English of the late 19th century was basically the same as today's. I think the difference stems from the technology of the time and culture/fashion, for example: tools appearing in everyday's life, popular things of the time etc.

The Lord of the Rings published in much later 1954 also contains a huge proportion of unusual words, you really need a dictionary when reading. In that case it's really not about the age, the English of 1954 is the same as today's, but the intentional author's use of rare words to create a mystical setting for the plot.


I'll write you a paragraph from the book, when I come home. For me, it's more difficult than reading modern things on the internet.



"But next time about half-past nine, when there was songs and high jinks going on, here she comes again, and took her old roost on the stabbord side. There warn't no more high jinks. Everybody got solemn; nobody talked; you couldn't get anybody to do anything but set around moody and look at the bar'l. It begun to cloud up again. When the watch changed, the off watch stayed up, 'stead of turning in. The storm ripped and roared around all night, and in the middle of it another man tripped and sprained his ankle, and had to knock off. The bar'l left towards day, and nobody see it go.
Everybody was sober and down in the mouth all day. I don't mean the kind that comes of leaving liquor alone- not that. They was quiet, but they all drunk more than usual - not together - but each man sidled off and took it private, by himself."

Mark Twain "Life on the Mississipi"

A con, to be more exact. Misdirection could also be interpreted as if you are giving someone wrong directions when he asks you where the bus stop is. "Da se Vlasi ne dosete" is more than that, it's a malicious plan that they don't want to you to know about.

There’s no point in directly translating something that is local and cultural, and cannot be used outside the Balkans. The understanding of that phrase fully depends on the knowledge of the local history.

The verb jawbone means to persuade someone or "attempt to pressure by the force of one's position of authority". English is sometimes really funny.

"US Dollar erases Powell-driven gains on Trump jawboning"
"GBP Prices Jawboned by Brexit News, AUD/USD May Look Past Jobs Data"

"Mr. Trump's move to jawbone the greenback lower may have reflected a familiar strategy: showing strength before a negotiation in an attempt to win more favorable terms. Such bullying may have been meant to set the stage for the meeting with Mr. Juncker, where the US President might be looking to exact the highest price possible for backing down on plans of higher auto import tariffs."

How can I say in English:

Citat:
Potraživanja po karticama, obveze po porezima, obveze po kreditima


All phrases are related to the accounting in a company.

And the word "oprihodovati".

Citat:
Otpisana potraživanja će tvrtka (o)prihodovati.

Credit card claims, tax liabilities, credit liabilities.

Where in Bosna and Hercegovina is possible to take an exam to certificate the knowledge of English? Something like the Goethe institut for German, where you can get an official certificate for A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 level.

Probably, you can attach the certificate beside an application for the vacant job positions. Thus the application looks more attractive. This is just my opinion.

It would be worth asking a recruiter beforehand if the certificate assists job applicants in securing a job. Otherwise, in my opinion it may be a waste of money.
