In casual, everyday French, it's common to skip the “ne”, turning “je ne sais pas” into “je sais pas”.

Even more casually, “je” often changes into a “sh” sound, giving us “j’sais pas” (sh’sais pas) or just “Shais pas”.

It's all about speeding up and blending the sounds! 🚀

This is a perfect example of the gap between written and formal French versus the spoken, everyday language. 🇫🇷
