My grandpa lived in New Zealand for awhile as a teenager and his whole life would say kahtayano (that’s how it’s pronounced but I don’t know how it’s spelled). When we asked what it meant he said it was just an exclamation of sorts. My mom has asked several people if it meant anything and no ones ever heard it. Is it a Maori word? Is it a word at all? Could it have come from another word? Please help.
