Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Je saurais pas expliquer pourquoi faire au lieu d’être. C’est certainement car c’est une expression. Tu peux dire les deux

I don't know exactly how it's defined or even if the two are connected, but there's an expression in English that sounds equivalent where the verb 'to make' implies a sense of 'to become' like, 'What a boy you'll make' or 'You'll make a great Dad'. I did find three threads on it agreeing with that idea:

https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/doesnt-make-a-good-tourist.3116889/

I want to say that this is a good translation but I'm not 100% sure (well I'm 90% sure)

The expression exists in English too:

What a good genius you('d) make.
