Kakā Kā KāKa?
When reading a book, I found an interesting phrase that uses the dialect in Toyama.
It is "Kakā kā kāka?" (かかーかーかーか？).
In Toyama, people sometimes call their mothers kaka (かか), and say ka (か) to describe "this."
In addition, in Japanese, ka (蚊) means "mosquito," and we say '～ka?' (～か？) when asking something.
That is to say, "kakā kā kā-kā?" means that "Mother, is this a mosquito?"
However, I think that if someone says such a phrase suddenly, even people in Toyama will be a bit confused.

かかーかーかーか？
本読をんでいて、富山の方言を使った面白い言葉を見つけました。
それは「かかーかーかーか？」です。
富山では、「母親」のことを「かか」、「これ」のことを「か」と言うことがあります。
そして、日本語では "mosquito" のことを「蚊（か）」と言い、何かを尋ねるときに「～か？」と言うことがあります。
すなわち「かかーかーかーか？」は、「母さん、これは蚊？」という意味になります。
ただ、急にこんなことを言われたら、富山の人でもさすがに少し戸惑うと思います。
