Hello everybody and nice to meet you!
My name's Astrid and I wish you gave me an explanation about the meaning of these two expressions: "Please, be done!" and "Way to go!".
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my bad english)!

Hello Astrid, and welcome to English-test.net.

"Please, be done!" -- This does not sound colloquial to me, but may be so in other Englishes. I presume it means 'Please stop!'

"Way to go!"-- This means 'Well done!' Often it used used sarcastically.
