さあ、どいう意味かな~ (Sorry, couldn't resist XD )
かな is an informal grammar form that can most directly be translated as "I wonder..." It's mainly used to show uncertainty. Some common applications are talking about the weather, whether you did well on an exam, whether someone will like a gift, etc.
かな can also be used in a joking manner to show you already know the answer to a question. It is the same as how "I wonder" expressions are sometimes used sarcastically in English, .
