Hello !
Yes, you can use "ignorer" as the common form of "ne pas savoir". But this verb will be more used as if you wanted to say "don't pay attention to".

[burnt python]

For some reason, French-dubbed movies and shows love to use "je l'ignore" instead of more common phrases like "je sais pas", "j'en sais rien" or "aucune idée".
It's 100% correct but people rarely say that IRL.
(In case that's where you heard it)

I never noticed it before but you're totally right
Maybe it matches better with the lips

[fallen thistle]

yeah, dubs tend to focus a decent bit on lips and pacing

imo "ignorer" in that sense is kind of formal/old?

[gaunt veldt]

Yep, ignorer is more formal than ne pas savoir.

@scenic blade Tu peux répondre directement dans les fils dans les canaux salle-de-classe, ça nous aide à tout garder organisé :)

d'ailleurs, fwiw, en anglais "ignore" n'a pas le sens "ne pas savoir" ça a uniquement le sens de "ne pas prêter attention"
