কাকা

What does কাকা mean?

কাকা (kaka) is a Bangla noun that means uncle, paternal uncle in English.

Means a paternal uncle, specifically the brother (usually younger) of one's father. While Bangladeshi Muslims very frequently use চাচা (chacha), this term is understood everywhere and commonly used across communities as well as an affectionate honorific for familiar older men. Learners must not use it for a maternal uncle, who is strictly called a মামা (mama).
