    French-Québec : “Kossé ça?”
    French also : “C’est quoi?”
    … or : “Qu’est-ce?”

    Word for word of "qu’est-ce-que c’est ?” …
    …goes like : "What’s this that this is?
    …or : “What’s this which this is?”

    “Qu’est-ce?” sounds like the english “Case”.
    Since this is just one syllable it might be difficult to hear out of context.

      I ended up replying to the original comment, but your translation to English made me realize that in Portuguese we commonly say “O que que é isso?” which is basically “qu’est-ce-que c’est?”
