C'est la vie

Thursday 28 May 2015

C'est la vie, a French phrase, translated as That’s life. The pronunciation can be found in Youtube, which is roughly “ce la vie” in English pronunciation.

It’s something that you say when something happens that you do not like but which you have to accept because you cannot change it. Here is one scene.


Alice: I’ve got so much work that I can’t go away this weekend.
Bob: Oh well, c’est la vie.
