Comment dire "déjà vu" en chinois ?

‘Déjà vu’ is a French word in English that’s used to describe a situation you feel you’ve been in before.

Like, you feel you’ve already experienced something before because it feels so familiar, even though it’s a new day. Or the feeling when you’re busy getting some extra food & water in the house… just in case?

Pleco will give you two options; “既视感 jì shì gǎn” and “似曾相识 sìcéngxiāngshí”, but because the Chinese language doesn’t exactly have this concept, you can describe a ‘Déjà vu’-vibe of fences going up or anything in several ways.

Such as:

• 看到这个，我有一种似曾相识的感觉。
• Kàn dào zhège, wǒ yǒuyī zhǒng sìcéngxiāngshí de gǎnjué.
• Seeing this, I have a feeling of déjà vu.

And:

• 这是3月的即视感啊！
• Zhè shì 3 yuè de jí shì gǎn a!
• This is a déjà vu from March!

If you’re looking for something more simple, you can also say:

• 又来了。
• Yòu láile.
• Here we go again.

But we’ve also seen this one going around:

• 第一季结束，第二季这么快就开始了。
• Dì yī jì jiéshù, dì èr jì zhème kuài jiù kāishǐle.
• The first season is over, the second season is about to begin.
