Simply tell them that it is a french word "deja vu" which means "seen before" in English. It refers to the feeling that u did something before or seen some place before .
It's a psychological thing which the scientists believe as not true but just an illusion

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 !

deja vu literally means, in French, "seen before".
Thats all you really need to say then provide a few examples.
Some place you feel you have been before, or seen before but cannot remember doing.
Or say you had an argument over a skirt you were wearing with an ex, then your current boyfriend had the same argument that you had with your ex you could call it deja vu.
Its just something you have seen or experienced before, that is weird.
like "Ive been here before...in this situation" etc

When you go through a situation and you have a strong feeling that you have already done this before or whatever it is has happened to you but you can't seem to remember when or where it happened.

If I could use a room with a front and back door, I would walk out the back door and re-enter the front door, mimicking the same routine. I would let them see the movie Groundhog Day.

The feeling that what's going on has been experienced before at some other place at some other time in their life.

something that you think already happened, or if sometimes you had a visual of the thing that happened, but you cant remember where... also its a sex position where a girl is laying on her back, and her face is under the guys penis, and he is tea bagging her while fingering her

deja vu
it is the feeling/certainty that you have done the same thing before.
or been in this room before, taken this test before, answered THIS questions before, even though you haven't.

to feel deja vu means:
to feel that what you are experiencing at the moment... you have experienced before.
