'Cosa hecha' ¿un dicho normal en español?

Question

Acabo de volver de mi grupo español y hoy alguien usó la frase 'cosa hecha' en cuanto a otra persona quien había hecho algo al adrede y me la recordé y sabía en seguida lo que decía pero cuando la busco ahora - nada, no puedo encontrarla. ¿No sé si está mal escrito? I just got back from my group and today someone used the phrase 'cosa hecha' speaking of another person who had done something intentionally. I remembered that phrase and knew what it meant right away but now I wanted to check it in the dictionaries and I cannot find it. I've looked all over, am I spelling it incorrectly? I am really stymied. Thank you so much, that's a standard phrase right? I'm not dreaming or something?

Answer 1

u·na co·sa he·cha Feminine - Noun - Singular

1. an accomplished thing, something already done;

Synonyms: un hecho consumado

Is that anything close to English's It's a "done deed", "fait accompli", or "done deal"?

I had "fait accompli" published so it should be in our phrase book. - ray76, Aug 28, 2010

There you go = now why the heck could I not find it? Strange, thanks guys! (and I wonder what is funny?) - margaretbl, Aug 28, 2010
