* Dakain means “the best [kind]”, when stressed, but is also used to mean “the thing being discussed” or if you can’t think of something’s name, “you know . . . dakain!”. It’s more commonly spelled “da kine”. “Kain” is pronounced like fine and means “kind” or “sort” and is, again, more commonly spelled “kine”.
