Interesting expression. No, it's not quite right. You've got the sentence
order correct, but you have the verb prefix wrong. {bI-} means "you" subject,
no object. However, "My nose thinks only of you" has "my nose" ("it") as
subject and "you" as object. Looking on the table on TKD 33, we find that
this prefix "it - you" is {Du-}.
DubuS ghIchwIj!
Also, remember to capitalize every {I}.
