I assume you intended to include "take".

Note: When you append another post to your original post, you are working against yourself. Once a post is added to the original post, the system makes it look as if the post has been answered. People will pass by your question without answering because it looks like it has already been answered. Wait a little longer for a reply without adding another post to it and you may get better results.

tostyle un is it right to say,"such things don't materialize"meaning they don't exist.

No. You have to say "Such things don't exist". If some people expect that something will come to exist in the future, but you think it will never come to exist, you can say, "That will never materialize".
