Q:
Ví la siguiente pregunta: How will be turn out?. El traductor la traduce por: Cómo será el resultado, pero "Turn out" lo dá por otra parte sólo como verbo ( resultar o salir algo ) y nó como sustantivo.Alguien puede explicarme cómo se debe traducir?.Gracias.
A:
"How will be turn out" no tiene sentido.
En vez de 'salir', 'turn out' puede significar la cantidad de personas que asisten a algo - una fiesta, una reunión etc.
Entonces hay al menos dos posibilidades:
1) "How will it turn out?" = cómo saldrá. -> I'm not sure, I hope it will be great!
2) "How will the turn out be?" = cuántas personas llegarán? -> I think we will get lots of people coming! It's going to be a big success!
Otros ejemplos:
We were worried that nobody would come, but we got a great turn out!
If you want a good turn out, you should offer free drinks.
