@f6b66bd4 āThatās a news to meā is not correct. You could say:
Thatās new to me.
āI didnāt know thatā is correct.
- English (US)
āThatās news to meā is a more casual and slightly more colorful way of saying āI didnāt know that.ā Itās more conversational. Thereās also an element of surprise, like you didnāt expect to hear this information.
