You know how we have the phrase "it is what it is" in English?
And while it's not the exact translation, other languages have similar vibes (like shouganai in Japanese, c'est la vie in French, que sera sera in Spanish).
I'm really curious as to how far this extends - do you have something like it in your language?May 3, 2024

In swedish we have "Det är som det är" which is basically a direct translation of "It is what it is" lol
•
•I guess it would be «Sånn er det bare» in norwegian. Directly (poorly??) translated would be something alone the lines of «It just is like that». But it carries the same vibe of «It is what it is».

•Not exactly as you mentioned, in spanish it’s “es lo que hay” (it is what it is). Similar ones can be: “lo hecho hecho esta” (what’s done it’s done) or “solo Dios dirá” (only God will tell).

•Yea! Except in Chinese that's just the cultural attitude all the time lol. The main ones that come to mind are 生米做成熟饭 (the rice has been cooked/what's done is done) and 既来之则安之 (they have come so make it comfortable/ since it is so we should accept it)
•
•“Es ist was es ist“, “'S is wasses is“ are also pretty common in german, pretty much literally translated.
There is also “Is halt so“ with basically the same meaning, used a tad more often in our region.

•"Ez van." in hungarian. There's no proper translation for it (unless you want to be literal and say "it exists" lol) but it's something like "That's that."
•
•I do! except i don't have the keyboard in my language to write it, its meaning is "you have nothing to do (about it)"!!
