Learn English – people make fun on you is correct

phrase-usageprepositions

is it correct to say "people will make fun on/over you" or it should be "people will make fun of you"

what makes me to think the two phrases has discrimination/difference is. "fun of you"=here the second person "you" did something funny that make others to laugh. "fun on you"= does it sound like people will create fun over the second person you though he/she doesn't anything funny?

is the above discrimination is correct?

please give me an answer as why we should use X than Y besides than saying X is correct and Y is wrong, So do follow the X:).

Best Answer

The correct version of the sentence is :

"People will make fun of you."

"On you" sounds wrong. You cannot make fun on a person.

Let me give you an example to help you understand better.

"Harry made fun of Sally"

Here, Harry teases Sally. This doesn't mean that Sally did something funny. Sally did or said something and Harry laughed at her actions, and teased her.
