1. Deja vu

   Déjà vu ( (listen) DAY-zhah-VOO, -⁠VEW, French: [deʒa vy] (listen); "already seen") is a French loanword for the phenomenon of feeling as though one has lived through the present situation before. It is an illusion of memory whereby — despite a strong sense of recollection — the time, place, and context of the "previous" experience are uncertain or impossible. Approximately two-thirds of surveyed populations report experiencing déjà vu at least one time in their lives. The phenomenon manifests occasionally as a symptom of pre-seizure auras, and some researchers have associated chronic/frequent "pathological" déjà vu with neurological or psychiatric illness. Experiencing déjà vu has been correlated with higher socioeconomic status, better educational attainment, and lower ages. People who travel often, frequently watch films, or frequently remember their dreams are also more likely to experience déjà vu than others.

1. deja vu

   Deja vu is a French term that translates to "already seen". It refers to a psychological phenomenon where a person feels a strong sense of familiarity with an event, situation, place, or person they encounter in the present, despite having no prior experience or memory of it. This typically brief and usually fleeting experience can be disorienting and is often regarded as an anomaly of memory.

Examples of deja vu in a Sentence

   I had serious déjà vu last night.

2. Hou Wey Fook:

   It's like a deja vu of what happened in 2008 but of course the reasons are very different. In 2008, the banks were broken, financial markets were frozen, this time, there are some areas where liquidity has dried up like in bonds but not to the same extent as in 2008.

5. Stacey Abrams:

   For me it was déjà vu. I am very aware of the frailty and the fallacy of the notion of acts of democracy in Georgia, we watched the secretary of state in 2018 set up a system of voter suppression and we watched the current secretary of state continue the same work. The reality is this was a mix of incompetence, malfeasance. It was a deliberate indifference to voters and it's a solvable problem.
