C'est le diminutif pour "I don't know" je crois... Après, je ne suis pas un expert mais il me semble que l'on peut utiliser "I dunno" sur MSN par exemple.  ???

It's very strange but I prefere "I don't know"

It's not strange at all because when you pronounce "I don't know", you say "i dunno" if youare used to spell it quickly.  :D

Yeah "I dunno" is something for MSN or emails or other informal things, don't write it in a paper or anything :P You hear both "I dunno" and "I don't know" all the time, it just depends on the way the sentence is going, I suppose. Kind of like "Je ne sais pas" vs "Je sais pas" vs what I believe sounds like "chez pas"

In fact, however, online you will often see (on MSN or other chat programs) the abbreviation idk used to mean "I don't know" -- it's even shorter than "I dunno". And you also just see the word "dunno"

ReallyAwesomeName110202: hey what time is the movie playing?
NotNearlyAsCoolOfAName444022: i don't know/i dunno/dunno/idk

Then of course you have tons of expressions like "no idea" or "not a clue", etc., which all have the same general meaning but are of course slightly different in literal meaning. :P
