... but its already determined that it *will* happen;
Probably Ralf meant that, but I think it needs to be said more explicit:
This is just such a common false-friend-error in many languages [1]; and
the false-friends-meaning is "possible", maybe "maybe" .
I think the word "eventually" should be avoided. Its just too likely you
get misunderstood.
