| Sep 2, 2018 at 15:33 | comment | added | Con-gras-tue-les-chiens | @jlliagre Sorry, I haven't made myself perfectly clear. What I wanted to ask you is whether the two phrases in bold work well as the equivalents of the idiomatic English expression "Trust you to do ...!". I only meant "à l'heure (prévue)" as a secondary point. | |
| Sep 1, 2018 at 23:43 | comment | added | jlliagre | I strongly doubt à l'heure prévue would be understood as being sarcastic. Maybe tu te pointes à l'heure qui te plait, trente minutes... or tu débarques comme ça, trente minutes après... | |
| Aug 24, 2018 at 11:55 | comment | added | jlliagre | There is also ...on peut te faire confiance pour... which is close to your first sentence. | |
| Aug 24, 2018 at 11:50 | comment | added | Con-gras-tue-les-chiens | @jlliagre Yes, something along those lines. I was wondering if French speakers use some fixed structure for this, just like "Trust you to ..." in English. | |
