In the US it is used to describe the striking sensation of having been in the same place/situation before. The sensation goes beyond just a "familiar memory" to actually feeling as though the exact situation is being repeated.

'Deja vu' is a French phrase. The literal translation of 'deja vu' is 'already considering.' However, a better translation is 'already seen.'
In English, it refers to an experience that you feel has happened before.

déjà vu is the correct spelling of this term.
The term "déjà vu" (French for "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously experienced.
