Hindi phrase, translate to English please?

The other day, heard a phrase something like:

"Kai Saan".

I heard it in the PC game "Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties", if that helps.

The closest translation I found is "How are you?" which is "Aap kasi hai", but does anyone know what the other phrase means? Thanks!

    i have played age of empires, each of the villagers/ soldiers etc/ of different nationalities say something in the language when you click on them right? usually it is Hello or how are you in that language, for instance the turks say nasilsiniz, etc. so if you were playing the India civilization its very likely they did said aap kaisi haan, or even just kaisi hain, also said.. Hindi is a language with nasal vowels, and haan has a nasal quality to it so it will not sound like haan like the word Hane

    कैसे हैं

    you can put this into google translator and see if it sounds like what you heard, it says kaisi hain
