gone / kaput
A colloquial expression meaning that something is gone, lost, broken, or ruined. It describes something that is no longer present or no longer functioning.
Ich habe eine Sekunde nicht aufgepasst und schon war mein Handy futsch.
I wasn't paying attention for one second, and my phone was gone.
The adjective 'futsch' (gone/kaput) is used almost exclusively predicatively, meaning it comes after the noun together with the verb 'sein' (to be). Using it directly before a noun (attributively) is extremely rare.
Pass auf dein Geld auf, sonst ist es schnell futsch.
Watch your money, or it will be gone quickly.
'Futsch' (gone/kaput) is a very colloquial word. It is used in everyday life and in spoken language, but not in formal texts or situations.
Mist, jetzt ist der ganze Vormittag futsch!
Damn, now the whole morning is gone!
You can use 'futsch' (gone/kaput) for different kinds of loss. It can refer to money, objects, but also to abstract things like an opportunity, time, or all the effort.
Wenn du jetzt nicht zugreifst, ist die Chance futsch.
If you don't grab it now, the opportunity is gone.
about it / away
Like futsch, davon can suggest that something is gone, but it normally describes movement away from a reference point. Futsch is colloquial and instead describes the state of something being lost, no longer present, or broken. Use davon for something rolling or running away, and futsch for loss or damage.
Der Ball fiel ins Wasser und war danach futsch.
The ball fell into the water and was gone afterward.
Der Ball rollte davon, bevor ich ihn fangen konnte.
The ball rolled away before I could catch it.
