    How would you say "That is life" in French?

    Question #95460. Asked by matka11. (May 08 08 9:02 AM)

    		"C'est la vie" (pronounced: say la vee); directly translated, this means "It is life". This is the one used by the French.

    "Cela est la vie" would be the direct translation of "That is life", but it is senseless - the French would understand, but it is clumsy.
