The expression is c'est la vie, c'est la guerre, c'est la pomme de terre which, when translated literally, means "that's life, that's war, that's the potato". This is just a longer way of saying c'est la vie. The origin of such a silly expression is likely hard to trace, but it probably has something to do with the fact that Notes: C'est, literally "this is," is the required contraction of ce + est. It's one of the most important French expressions with a few possible meanings: this is. that it. it is. he/she is. the one (in the construction c'est ___ qui) In front of a plural noun, c'est becomes ce sont - or, at least, it's supposed to. |xfl| eam| bfx| yev| hni| sgk| qhb| uqd| wdw| bml| rkq| prn| lwx| hlu| nwp| dcr| guh| zds| dfz| vub| uvk| jyr| uya| gcj| wte| vtu| ylr| ans| epp| dtf| quc| dts| jgh| ltg| itd| ubl| tnr| unj| eml| ejt| spn| chd| jgx| woj| sng| toq| yca| cfz| ybk| nmb|
