Jan 2, 2022 at 11:57 comment added Juha Metsäkallas I just realised another thing. Dum means during a period, but does not mean that the activity took the whole period. Say, it took five minutes to make the dough, then you waited for ten minutes and baking took the last five. Since you were not active the whole time, I think en 20 minutoj is a better expression. See PMEG.
Jan 2, 2022 at 11:51 comment added Juha Metsäkallas Why fariĝi is more common? No, I do not know, I can only guess. Quite likely the idea of using suffixes by themselves was so radical or strange idea to the early Esperantists, that they opted for fariĝi. At least to me the longer fariĝi sits better in the flow of speech, while iĝi causes a break.

Dec 30, 2021 at 21:03 comment added Olivro18 That is so interesting! Thanks for explaining! Do you understand why this is/how it started?
Dec 30, 2021 at 20:08 comment added Juha Metsäkallas Yes, both are correct and mean the same thing, but fariĝi clearly beats iĝi when it comes to frequency.
Dec 30, 2021 at 16:51 comment added Olivro18 Oh, ok, cool! Thanks for explaining! So does that mean that both "ŝi iĝis kuracisto" and "ŝi fariĝis kuracisto" are correct, it's just that "ŝi fariĝis" is more common in spoken language?
Dec 30, 2021 at 1:28 comment added Juha Metsäkallas As CodeWeawer points out both fariĝi and iĝi mean "to become". My (limited) experience is that fariĝi is more common in speech and standalone iĝi is more frequent in articles etc. thought-out writings.
