  What it means

  What has happened cannot be undone — there is no point dwelling on the past or wishing things were different.

  English equivalent

  What's done is done.

  Vocabulary

  • stało się — happened, occurred
  • odstać się — to un-happen, to be undone (archaic/colloquial)

  Grammar note

  Uses reflexive 'się' with both verbs. 'Odstać się' is a colloquial negation of 'stać się' (to happen).
