सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
While 'arriver' is a basic verb, using it to describe 'making things happen' reflects a shift toward Anglo-American 'hustle culture' in modern French business. Historically, French philosophy emphasized 'l'aléa' (chance), but today's youth use this phrase to emphasize personal responsibility and success.
The Magic Verb
Always remember that 'arriver' alone just means 'to arrive'. To say 'to make happen', you absolutely need 'faire'!
Don't confuse with people
If you say 'Je fais arriver mon ami', it sounds like you are physically forcing your friend to arrive. Use it for 'choses' (things) or 'événements' (events) instead.

What It Means
In French, arriver doesn't just mean showing up at a party. It also means 'to happen.' When you talk about faire arriver les choses, you are talking about being proactive. You aren't just waiting for luck. You are the one pushing the buttons. It’s about agency and results. It’s a very positive, 'go-getter' way to look at the world.
How To Use It
You almost always need the verb faire (to make/do) before it. You say faire arriver les choses. Without faire, the grammar feels a bit naked. You can also say laisser arriver les choses if you’re feeling more Zen. That means you’re letting life take its course. It’s a flexible phrase that fits your mood.
When To Use It
Use this in a job interview to show you’re a leader. Use it with friends when discussing your big dreams for the year. It’s great for pep talks! If a friend is stuck, tell them they have the power to faire arriver les choses. It’s a phrase for dreamers and doers alike. It works perfectly in professional settings too.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this for physical travel. If you're at the airport, don't say you're 'arriving the things.' That will just confuse the pilot! Also, avoid it for small, accidental events. You wouldn't say you 'made it happen' if you just dropped your toast. Keep it for bigger life events or intentional actions. It’s a 'big picture' expression.
Cultural Background
French culture often balances 'laisser-faire' (letting things be) with a strong sense of 'volonté' (willpower). This phrase sits right in the middle. It reflects a modern, dynamic France that values entrepreneurship and personal drive. It’s become very popular in the 'coaching' and self-improvement world in Paris. It’s about taking charge of your own destiny.
Common Variations
The most common spin is faire bouger les choses (to make things move). You might also hear voir arriver les choses (to see things coming). If you're feeling passive, try attendre que les choses arrivent. That means you're just waiting around. But usually, people want to be the ones making the magic happen!
