C’est la vie

When we watch some series or movies in English, there is a word they say often “C’est la vie”. I google it as “se la vi” and find its correct spelling.

What does that mean?

I look up “C’est la vie” in the English dictionary, which is French. Here is its meaning:

1. that is life;
2. that is how things happen.

(from Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary)
