«اِللِّي فَاتْ مَاتْ»

The saying treats a past event as finished and beyond recovery. It urges people not to keep reopening old disputes, losses, or mistakes when nothing can be changed by revisiting them.

It can also mark a decision to turn attention toward the present rather than assign blame for what is already over. Its call for closure does not erase past harm or remove responsibility where acknowledgment or repair is still needed.

Use it when proposing that an old quarrel, error, or unpleasant episode should no longer govern a current discussion. It may encourage reconciliation, but can sound dismissive if said to someone who still needs acknowledgment, explanation, or repair.
