"And there it is!" In simple terms, it means "Tadaa!", "Look at this!", or "It's done!", basically. Of course, it could mean many more things, like anything in any language - all depends on the context. It just got butchered & simplified by popular media, specifically American, just like most words & phrases.

Et Voila ! (technically speaking: "Et voilà!") It means "And there it is!" or any similar saying. Ofc, this is not a place for truthful information. Neither is Facebook/Instagram, Twitter(nobody calls it X - GTFO), TikTok, Google/Youtube ... neither is Wikipedia(although resourceful & probably more reliable than any above) Check your sources. Trust your instincts. Practice common sense 🧠
