5. I don't know *what*
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 01:17 PM by billyskank
Je ne sais pas means "I don't know," although I think most french people would abbreviate it in speech to something that sounds like "j'ai pas."

"Quoi" means "what."

That is why, when you are trying to praise something, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is that you like about it, you might say it has that certain je ne sais quoi.

3. Je ne sais quoi, means I don't know, or I know nothing.
S'il vous plait means if you please.
