Used often by those not fluent in French, but who want to sound educated, what does the phrase "c'est la vie," mean?
Answer That's life
You might say, "C'est la vie," with a shrug. Meaning, "That's life," it's sort of like saying in English, "It is what it is." The phrase can take the fight out of you.
