Questions & Answers about Emisija buke jedva da se čuje.

What does emisija buke mean exactly?

It is a fairly technical/formal phrase meaning noise emission or the emission of noise.

• emisija = emission
• buke = of noise

So the whole noun phrase refers to the amount or presence of noise being emitted, for example by a machine, device, vehicle, or industrial process.

In everyday speech, a Croatian speaker might more often say something simpler like Buka se jedva čuje if they just mean The noise can barely be heard.
But emisija buke is very natural in technical, environmental, or regulatory language.

Why is it buke, not buka?

Because buke is the genitive singular form of buka.

After a noun like emisija, Croatian often uses the genitive to express of something:

• emisija buke = emission of noise
• razina buke = level of noise
• izvor buke = source of noise

So buka is the dictionary form (nominative), while buke is the form needed here because it depends on emisija.
