    Kaså...
    aa=å in my language, hence I've grown accustomed to say it
    å is similar to the 'a' sound in Hall, tall, Ball
    Kaså.. Said in one fluid quick manner, or with emphasis on both Ka and Så.. Ka-Så

    Kazaa doesn't mean anything in Dutch, so it's roots are most likely in Sweden.

    @ Cathras, are you from Sweden? What does Ka-Så mean?

    I'm from Norway.
    And in the either of the "Formal" Languages (2) It means nothing really.
    But If you take it by how some northern dialects speaks it could mean: So what
    So what= Hva så, in norwegian, but northern and some other parts say Ka instead of Hva
    But I really don't think it's originating from that.. First it's one word, as I pronounce it, Kaså.
    Others I mostly have heard Kassà. Z isn't a often used letter in norwegian, and mostly pronounced with s or ss, dependant on what follows and dialect.
