In normal or fast speech, "kind of" is often pronounced "kinda".
Also, the kids use "kinda" is a short form of "kinda of".
But "kinda" is not an English word, so it should never be written that way.

It means "kind of" or "sort of"
"That's kind of mean."
is a softer way of saying
"That's mean."
"kinda" is how we sometimes SAY "kind of"
but you should never write it.
It makes you look really uneducated.
Sometimes we say "kinda" to say yes to something, but we don't want to say "yes" strongly.
"Do like him?"
"Kinda"
