Best Answer

The sentence 'Les carottes sont cuites' means The carrots are cooked. In the word-by-word translation, the definite article 'les' means 'the'. The noun 'carottes' means 'carrots'. The verb 'sont' means '[they] are'. And the adjective 'cuites' means 'cooked'.

In a figurative sense, the sentence means there is nothing left to do to change the course of events (carrots being the last vegetable to be cooked in a stew, when carrots are cooked, you cannot take any more action)
