Underscore notation trouble in latex

Question

Which command should I use to get the shorter version of underscore, on picture below. I tried everything _ , {_}, \underscore, \textunderscore, but I always get the longer version of underscore - shown on other image. I even tried \underscore{ } and \underline{ }, but if I use this two expressions, my undercore is not lined with text, but it is below the text.

Please help!¨I am losing my mind!

I forgot to mention that I even used all commands noted above with $...$, but no luck either.

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[slovene]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}
    \textbf{latex}_\textbf{Priimek}_\textbf{Ime}
\end{document}

If I get you right, you can try $latex_{veryveryverylongtext}$ ?! — Excelsior, Mar 17 '21 at 19:13
This type of question IMO is very hard to answer without a MWE. The reason for your type-setting issues may or may not be caused by any package or combination of packages you are using. Would you be able to provide a MWE? — Markus G., Mar 17 '21 at 19:20
@EdwardHenryBrenner Am I getting you right and you want two underscores? — Excelsior, Mar 17 '21 at 19:36
@EdwardHenryBrenner Is this what you want? $\mathbf{latex_{Priimek_{Ime}}}$ — Excelsior, Mar 17 '21 at 19:39
No. I will add another picture to question description to explain better what i want. — Edward Henry Brenner, Mar 17 '21 at 19:40
@EdwardHenryBrenner Now I got you. Does https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/48632/underscores-in-words-text/48633 answer your question? — Excelsior, Mar 17 '21 at 19:54
Apparently underscores in text are quite a hot topic and have been covered extensively in other questions you may want to browse. More specifically I would refer you to this answer to a similar(?) question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/239191/118712 — Markus G., Mar 17 '21 at 19:55

You can redefine the size of the underscore by using \renewcommand{\_}{\textscale{.5}{\textunderscore}} You need to load \usepackage{relsize} in your preamble

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[slovene]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{relsize}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{_}{\textscale{.5}{\textunderscore}}
\textbf{latex}_\textbf{Priimek}_\textbf{Ime}
\end{document}
