    There is no such word in italian, as you can check in any dictionary (for instance here). Where did you find it?

    A famous Brazilian football player is nicknamed “Kaká”; he played for Milan AC during several seasons. The word just resembles a quite vulgar Italian verb, so some puns with the player's name are possible.

  • It means poop in Amharic (a language spoken in Ethiopia...East Africa)

    “Kaka” is not an Italian word, so it's off topic discussing it here.

This is not an Italian word as somebody pointed out in the comments. Since the letter K in Italian does not exist, you might have been referring the whole time to CACA' which, in some parts of Italy, would be a rather unpolite shortening for the vulgar verb cacare, which means to poop.

    The shortening is not especially vulgar, in itself, just regional Italian. :-)

  • I actually meant something different, rather unpolite. Corrected.

    Note that in some regions it's cagare instead of cacare.

When I was little. my girlfriend's dad, who is from Italy, used this word often. I still remember him using this word. Mrs. C. was also from Italy, so I can attest to the fact that Italians do use this word.

    Welcome to Italian.SE! I suspect you might have misunderstood (maybe he was saying something more similar to cagá/cagar/cacà/cacar?). I am Italian and I've never seen the word kakà with the letter k.
