"To be set in stone"
Here is an expression that I heard the other day, and I thought it was a common one that probably doesn't make it into the textbooks.
Any idea what it means?
Here's an example of it used in a sentence: ""I'm thinking about going out with some friends tonight, but nothing's set in stone yet."
Here is a video that explains the expression and provides a few examples.

I'm curious, do you (non-native English speakers) think that you would be able to get the meaning of this expression just from the context of a conversation if you heard a native speaker use it?
Do you have a similar expression in your language?
I look forward to your responses. :-)
This expression was born in Latin language as "lapidarius"...
And it mean "to be very difficult or impossible to change" as writing in Cambridge Dictionary.
