I think I've seen this question before...hmmmm.

Déja vu means "Already seen"

veja du looks like some language where it could mean "see [that] it's completed"

You want us to say, "don't you mean deja vu". Come on , admit it; pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
OK then, I'll play it your way. Veja du, may well have a meaning in some other language other than French or English, but none that I know of. However, deja vu is French and literally means, 'seen before' and is used to convey the feeling that somehow you are re-living an episode that you have previously visited, either in a dream or in your imagination. Could be a 6th sense experience.

Veja du? Come on!

The meaning of veja du might be the opposite of deja vu.,you know like vice versa. Something that you haven't already seen before.Or do u really mean deja vu is it a typo? Deja vu means " already seen".

do you mean deja vu?

The term déjà vu is French and means, literally, "already seen." Those who have experienced the feeling describe it as an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. Say, for example, you are traveling to England for the first time. You are touring a cathedral, and suddenly it seems as if you have been in that very spot before. Or maybe you are having dinner with a group of friends, discussing some current political topic, and you have the feeling that you've already experienced this very thing -- same friends, same dinner, same topic.

You probably meant deja vu. It's a condition that occurs in mostly younger people beginning in the puberty years on into the late 20s but I'm quite sure some people outside of that age range experience it as well. It's like you are doing something or you are somewhere and you stop and think like, "Wait a minute, I've done this before" or "I've been in this same room at this same place before" but oddly you can never ever remember exactly when. It has something to do with dreams as well and probably subconcious brain activity. It happens to me all the time and its scary sometimes but strange.

It is actually deja vu, and it means when you are experiencing something and you get a strong feeling that you have been through this before. It could happen when you meet a person for the very first time, and you have this strong feeling you have met this person before in the very same way you are doing so now.

Or you arrive somewhere, and again, you have been through this process before.

Deja vu comes from French - Have seen....
Hope it helps, and next time you have 'deja vu', make notes, and concentrate on what is happening.

Hope this helps

it means to have the fealing you have witnessed something before

a sight, sound, or physical feeling of remembrance of a similar or exact situation from your past

triggers an odd eary feeling of surreal and slow motion type reality

The term déjà vu (French: "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was created by a French psychic researcher, Emile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness," "strangeness," or "weirdness." The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past.

The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. However, in laboratory settings, it is extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience, making it a subject with few empirical studies.

deja vu's evil twin "veja du", the feeling, as pundit Gary Arlen posited, of being someplace you really never wanted to be. Again.

I believe you mean Deja Vu. Its a feeling you get that you believe that something has happened twice.

For example my dear friend: You go to bed and have a dream about going to work on a bus and it crashes. You wake up the next day and go to work on a bus and it crashes. Its believing that, that moment had already been done.

Heres a definition from MSN Encarta:

Definition:

1. feeling of reliving something: a feeling of having experienced something before, although in fact it is the first time that it has been experienced.
