french expression that is rather famous in english and other languages.

it means "it is the life."

can also be trasnlated into english as:
- "that's life"
- "oh well, shit happens"

The best useful translation I've heard is "Such is life" - inferring, "This is just the way life is."

An associated idiom, "C'est la guerre", which means "This is war", would likewise best be interpreted as "Such is war.", inferring "This is just the way war is"

(Idiom) Literally translated, means "It is the life". Better translations lead to "That's life" or "it's life". Basically shut up and get over it, used as a puit down. The best retort to this is "C'est la guerre", which means "This is war".

An expression inviting one to accept that circumstances are ultimately unchangeable.

Akin to SNAFU. See 'fatalistic' lyrics for many songs such as:
Frank Sinatra - "That's Life"
Run DMC - "It's like that, (and that's the way it is)"
John Lennon - "Working Class Hero"

An expression used by many Spanish speaking homies when they caught a peek at a girl privates.
