What does fet li fet mean in Arabic?

Question

My husband is always saying it when something doesn't go right..I asked him what it meant, he told me to "look it up"..

Answer 1

Well,I'll go with Blind-Poet's answer but the way you wrote it ,it's right if the dialect of your husband either Moroccan,Tunisian or Algerian "fet li fet". What Blind-Poet said is the Egyptian dialect "fet /faat elli fet/faat" &it means "it's allover,don't mention it again" and it's a kind of of saying "no regret".
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

fat eli fat,,its like what went went..its kind of like saying theres no use talking or moaning about the past, because it happened.
