    "kinda" doesn't exist in Russian in the same meaning as in English
    Because we do not speak it that way in Russian

    А чем тебе "типа", "немножко", "почти", "как бы", "что ли" не подходят? Может, не совсем то, но близко.

    IMHO "А он так ничего" would be much closer, which brings us to an inevitable conclusion that such expressions are better tackled individuakky in each case.

    We do not speak the same way in Russian thus "kinda" does not exist
