Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen"

But what does Deja Vu actually mean?

Haven't you asked that before?

Er, shouldn't that be "coup de grace"? I believe "gras" is fat, as in Mardi...

Yes, but I was thinking 'lawnmower' at the time.

grass=herbe or gazon...

I think the usual phrase, which seems to be used most often by English speakers wanting to sound like they speak French, is:

Plus ça change, plus ça la même chose


But hasn't someone already answered this question...

Must be Deja Lu (already read it )

B

Deja vu describes the sensation of having been here before the sensation of having been here before

Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen"

B

Yes, but what does Dej...... wah!

is there a doctor in the buiding?!...

what exactly do you want to know about "deja vu"?!..

yep, it means "already seen" but it's also used for:
a situation/event we feel we've experienced before or a place we feel we've been before... {usually through a dream]

we also tend to use it when someone keeps saying the same thing or an event is happening again... but that's only another use of the expression not really the original one...

to try to go further with the meaning, i would say that tho' it literally means "already seen" the real meaning would be/is: "already experienced"...

i do hope that this was helpful...

loup

Cheers Loup.

But what does "deja vu" actually mean?

Liam.

I was hoping someone would ask that.

Yeah, but what does Deja Vu *actually* mean?

Liam stand in the corner until you remember that! and say

mmmmm.... i see...

there is a "je ne sais quoi" somewhere...

loup
