A: I made a big mistake yesterday.

Here in the dialogue. Is the expression of lesson learned a noun phrase, lesson (which was) learned or a short version of a lesson was learned?

[Hansman]

A: I trusted him.
B: You are too naive.
A: Lesson learned.
B: Be wise in who you trust.

It is a dialogue from a textbook and it explains that here lesson learned means I learned my lesson.
What do you think?

I agree in that context "lesson learned" means "I learned a lesson from that experience". Moreover, "lesson learned" is a stock phrase, in other words a very common saying.

I have seen the saying, In every mistake, there is a lesson learned.
Here in the saying, a lesson learned does not mean I learned a lesson and it means a lesson (that is) learned, right?
And is there no case when we can see lesson learned as lesson is learned like Point taken (=Point is taken)

Given the context there is no difference in meaning between "Lesson learned" and "I learned a lesson". They are just two ways of saying the same thing.

Do you mean "Lesson is learned" and "I learned a lesson", right? Thank you so much.

Right.

The phrase 'Point taken' is a shorter way of saying 'I take your point'. It's a way to say you accept what another person has said.

Is that a Korean expression?

I would say "Lesson learned" is short for "I learned the appropriate lesson".

Point taken - I get it; I get your point

@Hansman You're very lucky that several members seems to have missed the "Waiting for source information" tag on your thread. In post #2, Rover clearly told you that we need the source and author. This ...

It is a dialogue from a textbook

... is not an acceptable answer. Please give us the title of the book and the name(s) of the author(s).

All members - please refrain from providing any more answers until we have the legally required information. Thank you.
