Deja vu is when you have a feeling that you've seen or done something before, even if you really haven't. It's French.

Kudos is a Greek word meaning "praise" or "to give praise". So, if someone says "Kudos to you", they are complimenting you on something.

And Voila is French for "There it is", usually said with an exclamation, as with excitement.

Deja Vu is a feeling that something has happened before, and you have experienced it someplace, like in a dream or something. It is a French word.

Kudos is just an American english slang for a job well done. They even made candy bars out of it!! :)

Voila, is once again, French. It is used when showing something spectacular to people, for the effect, and for praise. I hope I was able to help!!

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.
Kudos from the Greek literally "that which is heard of") means fame and renown resulting from an act or achievement; by extension is often used as a praising remark. It entered English as British university slang in the early 1800s. Frequently used by Time magazine, it came to America in the 1920s and 1930s.
Used to call attention to or express satisfaction with a thing shown or accomplished: Mix the ingredients, chill, and—voilà!—a light, tasty dessert.

[French : voi, second person sing. imperative of voir, to see (from Old French; see voyeur) + là, there (from Old French la, lai, probably from Latin illāc, by that way : illā, ablative sing. feminine of ille, that + -ce, deictic particle).]
