C'était magnifique' is a French equivalent of 'It was magnificent'. The masculine demonstrative 'ce'* means 'this'. The verb 'était' means '[he/she/it] was'. The adjective 'magnifique' means 'magnificent'. All together, they're pronounced 'seh-teh mah-nyee-feek'.

*The vowel 'e' of 'ce' drops before the vowel 'e' of 'était'. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by the apostrophe: 'c'était'.
