A2 Proverb 中性

Gjort er gjort.

What's done is done.

意思

Cannot change the past.

🌍

文化背景

Norwegians often use this phrase to avoid 'drama.' It is considered polite to accept a mistake and move on rather than making a scene. The phrase reflects the 'Law of Jante' (Janteloven) indirectly—by not dwelling on your own mistakes, you avoid being self-centered. In Norwegian offices, efficiency is key. 'Gjort er gjort' is used to stop unproductive 'post-mortem' meetings that go in circles. You will see this used as a hashtag #gjortergjort when people post about their 'fails' in a lighthearted way.

⚠️

Don't be too cold

If someone is crying, wait a minute before saying this. It can sound a bit harsh if said too quickly.

Not necessarily, but it's better to apologize first. 'Beklager, det var min feil. Men gjort er gjort, så jeg skal fikse det nå.'

Usually no. It's almost always for mistakes, accidents, or finishing something difficult.

'Sånn er det' means 'that's how it is' and is more general. 'Gjort er gjort' specifically refers to an action that was taken.
