It's a deja vu.
It's deja vu.
Hi,
I'm not sure how to use "deja vu" to express that I've experienced the same thing as others have. Which of the above two should I use? Or are there better ways of using it? Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong (not unusual). I believe that we say 'deja vu' to mean not that we actually have seen it before, but rather that it seems we have seen it before....that it is very similar to something in the past.

Oh, yes, I meant to comment on that, but my computer hiccuped, and by the time I got back I had lost my place.
It's used (in my experience) to mean that you are experiencing the feeling that you have previously done this/seen this/head this/etc. That you are replaying something you have already done.
(I think there was an explanation for this in the movie The Matrix.)
