    Default Needing help with a word.

    I don't know how you spell this word so i'm going to simplify the word. "Day-Sha-Vu"
    The definition of this word is, something you think you already saw before.
    Please help me with this word. Thanks

    deja vous is the word you are thinking of. It's French for already seen.

    In Englsih, it's usually spelled deja vu, although Bobby's spelling is probably the correct French spelling.

    Deja Vu describes a situation where you feel as though you've gone through that experience before.

    The correct spelling is "dčja vu". Bobby's spelling was incorrect. "Vu" is the past participle for "to see". "Vous" is the formal/plural form of "you" and thus "deja vous" makes no sense.

    But then you said Bobby's spelling was probably correct. It isn't. That was really my main point.

    And the most popular psychological explanation is that you process the image/situation unconsciously a split second before you process it consciously, hence why you think it's already in your memory.

    He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely.

    There are actually two accents in the native French: déjà vu. However, in English we usually drop diacritics in loan words so deja vu is perfectly acceptable in English.

    It literally means "already seen" and as others have said refers to a split-second feeling that you have previously experienced a particular event.

    It can also be a glitch in the matrix.

    He knew she was there by the rapture and the terror that seized on his heart. She was standing talking to a lady at the opposite end of the ground. There was apparently nothing striking either in her dress or her attitude. But for Levin she was as easy to find in that crowd as a rose among nettles.... The place where she stood seemed to him a holy shrine, unapproachable, and there was one moment when he was almost retreating, so overwhelmed was he with terror.... He walked down, for a long while avoiding looking at her as at the sun, but seeing her, as one does the sun, without looking."
