Electricity is gone, Ramadan is coming

[Tait-ka]

1. Last night, I was preparing an assignment on my computer. Suddenly the electricity went out.
I said then: Damn! the electricity is gone.

Is it idiomatic to say the bold?


2. The holy month of Ramadan is around the corner. 1st Ramadan is expected to be on 19 Feb 2026.
So in this situation is it idiomatic to say "Ramadan is coming"?

Source for both situations: SELF-MADE

No. In BrE, we'd say "There's been a power cut" or "The electricity's gone off". You used the more AmE phrase "went out" in your main sentence - I think AmE speakers would use "gone out" in their exclamation.
I'm not sure an AmE speaker would use "electricity". I believe they'd use "electric" or "power" there. One of our AmE speakers will put me right, I'm sure.

2. The holy month of Ramadan is around the corner. 1st The first day of Ramadan is expected to be on [the] 19 Feb 2026.
So In this situation, is it idiomatic to say "Ramadan is coming"?

Yes. Please note my changes above.

See above for a more natural way of wording your source. In your original, there was no need to put "self-made" in capitals.

Yes, "the power is out" is most likely in AmE.

@SoothingDave is correct.

I would probably use the contraction "power's" (for "power is") to make the sentence sound more natural and conversational than the formal "power is out."
"Damn! The power's out."
Venting my frustration, I could also say, “Damn! We lost power.”
