How to Say "It Is Done" in French

c'est fait

In French, "it is done" is translated as c'est fait.

The phrase is used to indicate that a specific task or action has been completed.

What does it mean word for word?

The expression c'est fait is composed of ce (it/this), est (is) and fait (done/made).

While c'est fait emphasizes that a task has been executed or completed, c'est fini is used to imply that something has come to an end or is over.

To express the negative, "it is not done", use ce n'est pas fait.

In French, the verb faire in c'est fait is used for weather descriptions, such as il fait froid for 'it is cold'. This is counterintuitive for English speakers because it uses the verb 'to do' or 'to make' instead of 'to be'.
The phrase c'est fait is the foundation of the English loanword 'fait accompli'. In French, this specific usage describes a completed action that is now irreversible and must be accepted.
The word fait shares a common ancestor with the English word 'fact', as both derive from the Latin 'factum', meaning 'a thing done'.

Ne t'inquiète pas, c'est fait.
Don't worry, it is done.
Tu as fini tes devoirs ? Oui, c'est fait.
Have you finished your homework? Yes, it is done.
Le ménage est terminé, c'est fait.
The cleaning is finished, it is done.
