How sweet it is

[janesa]

How would you translate into Spanish this phrase?

"How sweet it is" ... like when you learn a lesson.

Thank you for your help.

Have a beautiful day!

What do you mean, 'when you learn a lesson'?
The only context I've ever heard this phrase in is the song, 'How sweet it is (to be loved by you)'!

Mi intento:
¡Qué bueno es aprender algo nuevo!

I am not sure if I understood right- but I'll try to explain.

Example: Person A and person B

I think a person (A) can say "how sweet it is" when another person(B) laughed at person A for experiencing something bad, but then the person(B) who laughed gets it too, so this person learns a lesson. And person A says: How sweet it is.

Thanks

[janesa]

or Can you help me understand a bit more this phrase?

For example,
When would you use this phrase in English - in which situations? " How sweet it is"

 

[traducecy]

"Qué dulce es"

If the use is like in the following:
Oh look, she's smiling! How sweet it is

Hope it helps =)

Thanks, any other examples?

"Es tan dulce" would be more like "it's so sweet", but it could work depending on what are you using it for.

The phrase was made popular by "The Honeymooners" a TV series from the 50´s with Jackie Gleason. He would say "how sweet it is!" whenever something good, convenient and unexpected took place. Like let´s say you win the lottery, so you say "How sweet it is!".
Then, later on Marvin Gaye came out with the song How sweet it is (to be loved by you).
It has the same meaning as "Life is sweet".
