We'll be there soon

Could you say, « on y arrivera bientôt » ?

Bonjour Tom,

In theory, you could have "on y arrivera" but in practise, "y" doesn't tend to be included in this context as "arriver" indirectly implies a destination.

If it is about "we'll get there" (i.e. achieving something), then you will most likely use "On y arrivera / On va y arriver".

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Hi Tom,

"We'll be there soon" --> "We will be ...."     --> "on y arrivera bientôt" looks correct to me.

I guess we could also write "On y arrive bientôt" where both present and future are acceptable?

Bonne journée

Jim
