Unless "Kak da" means "kogda" (when) it makes absolutely no sense to my Russian ear, sir.

on second thought
Well, come to think of it, "kak da" might mean "What do you mean - "yes"?
"Kak" can be used when you're shocked/surprised to hear something, like "Etu rabotu nyzhno sdelat segodnya ( This work must be done today) - Kak segodnya?? (What do you mean, "today"???

Is it possible that kak da could be understod as something like "yes but how" ?

Like if someone is prepared to agree to something but still is not really sure he knows what it is he agrees to.

Regards Thomas
"Yes but how" would be "Da, no kak?
"Kak da" can NOT be interpreted as "yes but how".
