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 |

Re: Needing help with a word.
deja vous is the word you are thinking of. It's French for already seen.

Re: Needing help with a word.
Deja Vu describes a situation where you feel as though you've gone through that experience before.

Re: Needing help with a word.
But then you said Bobby's spelling was probably correct. It isn't. That was really my main point.

Re: Needing help with a word.
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.

Re: Needing help with a word.
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.
