➔ Emphatic structure with 'è' + adjective + noun + relative clause. Use of 'essere fatti per' + infinitive to express purpose.

Che puoi decidere tu
➔ Subjunctive mood (present) after 'che' expressing a possibility or choice.
➔ The use of 'puoi decidere' instead of 'puoi decidere' suggests a possibility, a choice that the listener has. Since it is a general statement, an alternative wording without the subjunctive is also correct but conveys a slightly different emphasis.
