What does "Kak" mean in Sorani

It sounds like "kek" in Kurmanci which means "brother" but I  guess it is used in different contexts. Could anyone explain pls.

  For example to many times we can heared when Kurdisz saying Chone Kaka mean Hello Mr. or Hello Ms.

Wiele razy mozna uslyszec u Kurdyszów kiedy uzywaja Chone Kaka oznacza to Dzien dzobry Panu lub Dziendobry Pani.

    In my head, I always thought "kak" and "kaka" to mean "Big Brother", but now that you make the connection with English, I see how it could mean "Mr." The same as "Dada" can mean "Miss" or "Big sister". Xanm or Baji are usually used for older ladies. Thats my 2 cents

    Patiana, in kurdish, although kak , kaka is only used for the male gender. Xanm or Baji is used for female.

Kak = mr
usually put in front of a name (male - not used for female)
For example, Kak Alan

  "Kak" or "Kaka" same words meaning Mr.> Mrs.   or Miss> Ms. doesn't matter to who u talking to, can be woman-can be man, is nice word.

    That is wrong, Kak and Kaka is only used for Mr. if you want to say Ms. you must use Xan like Khan - for instance = Patiana Xan - and for male you use Kak (NAME)
