Kakbai

Kakbai (or Kakabhai) is a Gujarati word generally referring to an uncle, specifically the younger brother of one's father. The term carries cultural significance within Gujarati-speaking communities, particularly in India and among the diaspora. It is a term of respect and endearment used to address and refer to this specific familial relationship. The relationship often involves a degree of informal guidance and support, and the Kakbai might play a role in family decisions and traditions. Variations in pronunciation and spelling may exist depending on regional dialects within Gujarat.
