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.

To which email address would you (not you would) like this email sent? ("to be" is redundant, not incoerrect, but redundant).

So, "To which email addess would you like this email sent?"

For the good peeps who are working hard on improving their English, I've only recently found out about a fantastic resource:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/info

The Ngram search allows you to search the entire digitised collection of works on Google Books (around 25 million books written between 1800 and 2008). So, if you are unsure of a particular phrase or a word, follow the instructions above to see the appropriate usage over time. This should work a lot better than simple Google web searches which will give you plenty of spurious website matches not authored by great practitioners of English, but rather by a 17 year old intern managing a website CMS. You can also see trends over time, which might stop you from using archaic terms.

Could you give an example of a few archaic terms? I want to see if i'm using them. If it's not to much of a hassle, I wont get offended if you find it tedious to point them out.

Nothing off the top of my head, I've got writer's block...it really depends on how dated the dictionaries/textbooks are that people are using to learn from. As a rule, they will always be way too formal and robotic for everyday usage.

Actually, the classic which comes to mind (which I remember from most dictionaries) is "How do you do?" The only correct answer to that is, WTF, are you impersonating Clark Gable or something?

"How are you doing?" replaced that phrase if I'm not mistaken. But I didn't know that "How do you do?" is something grandad would say, that's new information for me. Thanks.

I often say "How do you do?". I know nobody uses it much nowadays, but I intentionally want to sound polite and catch attention. :zubati
