le tour est joué – Mot du jour

nothing we can do – French expression

What does ” le tour est joué ” mean? How do you say ‘ nothing we can do ’ in French? How is it pronounced? How is it used in a French sentence? Listen to Anne, a French native say it at FrenchHour.com.

le tour est joué – the trick is played. In everyday French, le tour est joué means that it’s over and ‘there is nothing we can do about it’.

• « En un tour de main, le tour était joué, et on a su que c’était lui, le nouveau champion du Tour de France. »
  “Very quickly, there was nothing we could do about it. We knew he was the new Tour de France champion.”
