zabilježeno je nekoliko neuspjeha / napisano je nekoliko “nekrologa”/nekrologa


Explanation:
MEANING- AND CONTEXT BASED :
zabilježeno je nekoliko neuspjeha

obit·u·ary > failure

obit·u·ary
plural obit·u·ar·ies

[count] : an article in a newspaper about the life of someone who has died recently
▪ I read/saw her obituary in the newspaper. ▪ an obituary writer/notice — sometimes used figuratively ▪ The company is not doing well, but it's too soon to write an/its obituary. [=too soon to think that the company will fail]

The sociology of corporate crime: An obituary (or: whose knowledge claims have legs?).


FIGURATIVNO:
napisano je nekoliko “nekrologa”/nekrologa

konzervativni fiolozofi koji su napisali stanoviti "nekrolog" modernizmu
To je trajalo sve dok je jedino što je preostalo bilo da joj se napiše "nekrolog".
Glasine o kraju modernizma jako su preuranjene; nema dvojbe da
je nekrolog objavljen prerano.

neutral  Daryo: zabilježeno je nekoliko neuspjeha is not the ST // napisano je nekoliko “nekrologa” is fine = agree or disagree with which one? why don't you make your mind instead of giving a list?

  -> Daryo, mislim da je moje obrazloženje dovoljno jasno. Ne moraš se složiti, ali sad dozvoli drugim kolegama da to procijene. Regards!

agree  Daryo: može i tako, ali "smrtovnica" ili "nekrolog" je mnogo upečatljivije // koriste se, kako da ne ...

  -> Ja lično nisam čuo da se ti izrazi koriste u tom figurativnom smisu, ali ako se koriste, svakako jeste upečatljivije.

mnogi su odsvirali opelo (toj naučnoj disciplini)


Explanation:
mnogi su odsvirali opelo (toj naučnoj disciplini)

ideja je da je ta naučna disciplina bila optisana – pokopana

"odsvirati opelo" je varijacija na istu temu
