It means "i don't know what."
And yes it's french... "Je ne sais quois"

It looks like a phonetic transcription of "je ne sais quoi"
which is french and means literally "I don't know what"
It is used to denote a quality or attribute that is otherwise hard to describe. A more accurate translation would be "a certain something".
Example: "Father, I don't want to marry Princess Lucky. I want to marry someone with a certain something/ someone with a je ne sais quoi"

Je ne sais quoi means "I don't know what". However, it has extended its meaning to "something or other". When you say that somebody has a certain "je ne sais quoi" it means that he has an elusive quality which gives him a certain mysterious cachet or charm. It is a compliment.

quel is the masculine singular form and quelle is the feminine singular form. As a basic answer to your Q, you can use quel/quelle to ask questions with a noun following. Example: Quel film est-ce tu préfères? (film is m. singular) Which film ... Quelle maison est la plus jolie? (house is f. singular) Which house ... Who or what as a translation will fit also depending on the noun used and the context. Don't forget there are plural forms too. Ouch!

Yes, it's French.
It's spelled "je ne sais quoi" and it means "I don't know what."
je = I (pronounced "zha")
ne = no/don't (pronounced "na")
sais = know (first person singular of the verb savoir "to know") (pronounced "say")
quoi = what (pronounced "kwa")
In English, it's used to mean "something that can't be described."

Go to www.freetranslation.com and type it in. Check the spelling of it. If it means, "I don't know what," then it should be spelled like this:
je ne sais pas que
Is that what you were looking for?

The right spelling is "Je ne sais quoi".
That means: "I don't know what".
For example: This guy has that "je ne sais quoi" that attracts me ...

I knew what it meant since I speak Spanish and it's very similar to "yo no sè que"
