V.K. Kotov from Ulan-Ude asks: “Which is correct: Makes you want the best or Leaves you want the best?”.

In the modern Russian literary language there is a phraseological expression with the meaning "not good enough, unsatisfactory, does not meet certain requirements' - leaves much to be desired(options - much better or much). Explanatory dictionaries do not indicate that this expression can be used with negation Not [Added to the journal text by the author's hand: FSRYA 298] - and then it means "excellent, meets all the requirements", for example: "But the people who made up the backbone of the division were excellent, and their political and moral state did not leave much to be desired" (Katukov. He who raised the sword from the sword will die). [ Added to the journal text by the author's hand: NB derivational non-normative variant]

"Makes you want the best"- a mistake typical of colloquial speech with its negligence to linguistic means. This error sometimes appears in fiction and in print like so: "... his physical condition made him want the best"(Kozhevnikov. Shield and sword); “The characterization of Viktor Petrovich did not leave much to be desired: a calm, balanced, non-drinking person ...”(Rosen. The last two weeks); “But the organization of work in our scientific institutes, recruitment, alignment of forces, economic and moral incentives often leave much to be desired"(Asanov. Goddess of victory).

Arbitrary replacement of the prefix ( behind- instead of O-) is a deviation from the literary norm. When using a phraseological unit, it is necessary to accurately reproduce the lexical composition and grammatical organization of the expression.
