I was wondering if anyone can help. Im in the process of learning Spanish, but I still struggle with lots of words.

My boyfriend said a new word to me today and I dont know what it means and he couldnt say what it means in English either. Damn the language barrier!!!

Anyway, it sounded like cacana (phonetically: kakanya) If anyone can tell me what it means and how to spell it properly, it would be a great help as my dictionary is rubbish!!!

That is not an spanish word. It is some type of slang, which I have never heard of.

Caca?o - Taca?o



The only Spanish word that comes close (and that I know ) is taca?a -- it means a person who doesn't want to spend his money ..... mean ....

Hmmm, maybe thats what it was. He told me to say it to a mutual friend and he laughed and said it was funny. Bless, he tries to teach me new words and it goes horribly wrong!
