it's actually 'vis-à-vis' and means 'regarding smth'.


Addition by Crisdean

I let the answer above because the general meaning is correct.


Vis-à-vis as an noun

face à face : (= in front of)

But vis-à-vis can be figurative.

un vis-à-vis can mean the opposite or the counterpart.


Un vis-à-vis can also be the opposite window in the field of sight in a building.

Mon appartement n'a pas de vis-à-vis - my flat has an open outlook


As an adverb,

à l'égard de (=towards) : Cette décision était injuste vis-à-vis de cette personne.
(This decision was unfair towards this person)
