Social Sciences - Government / Politics | | Bosnian term or phrase: bez ikakvkog osnova i razloga | From http://forum.krstarica.com/showthread.php?t=196777&page=8
Ti mene nazivas fasistom, a pretis bez ikakvog osnova i razloga ljudima koje ne znas, a posebno ne znas kako bi ti ljudi mogli da reaguju, ako, na tvoju nesrecu i problem, procene da su pretnje realne? Nemoj, molim te, ni za tren da pretpostavis da sam te ozbiljno shvatio.

Is this like our English doublets, much beloved in legal language, or is there a difference between "osnova" and "razloga"? |
| | | English translation:without any reason | Explanation:
in my opinion, these are doublets and there is no need to put them both in the translation, and it is ˝more English˝ to say like this |

| Grading comment Glad to see there isn't some great distinction in meaning I'm missing. I finally decided on "without rhyme or reason", a stock English phrase.

Explanation:
or for no particular reason for instance.
Other combinations will do as well. Legal languge makes the difference between the two terms, as anywhere else of course, but in general communication, those are doublets.
razlog = reason, cause, excuse, motive, why
osnov = base, element, rudiment, REASON
