Kanake or Kanaka!?


meaning?

According to my Kanakisch-Deutsch (Kanakish-German) phrasebook, a Kanak (or Kanake - female or Kanaker - male or Kanaken in the plural) is anyone who speaks this street/youth language/dialect/slang, be he German, Turk, Greek, Spanish, Italian or most any other nationality or male or female. I麓ve even found myself using a few phrases at times..and I麓m American! So, a correct translation of the given word would be "speaker of the German street slang of the same name" or something like that. Voll krass, Alter!

Kanaka: is a kitchen utensil used for making coffee.
example: "ye7amook fe kanaka" its a teasing phrase some Egyptians say for sarcasm meaning "they can give you a bath in it (kanaka)" meaning degrading and funny.

Edit:
I m sorry, i thought this was in the Egypt section and i answered accordingly! forgive my stupidity!

Kanake is a swearword/dirty word for people living in the south/southeast of the Mediterranean region, often for greek, italian, .. people.


Better do not use it.

looooooooool Kalooka, i like ur answer anyway....ye7amook fe kanaka lol bgd

The word "Kanake" is a highly derogatory German term for Turks
