What does se la vie mean?

"Se la vie" is French and it means "That's life" or "Such is life". It is an expression used to acknowledge that life is unpredictable and sometimes things don't go as planned. It often carries a sense of resignation and acceptance.

Here are some examples of how it can be used:

* "I lost my job, but se la vie, I'll find another one." (This implies that the person is disappointed but ultimately accepting of the situation.)

* "My car broke down on the way to the airport. Se la vie, I'll just take a taxi." (The person is acknowledging that the situation is inconvenient but ultimately moving on.)

"Se la vie" is a relatively informal expression, and you might not hear it used in very formal settings.
