they're adverbs! specifically, kinda and sorta are contractions of the qualifying adverb phrases kind of and sort of whereas hella serves as an alternate form of the intensifying adverb phrase "...as hell", eg: kind of sketchy sort of sketchy sketchy as hell |

This category of words is called qualifiers, and they indicate "to what degree" for adjectives and adverbs. Other qualifiers include words like "rather", "quite", and "very". |
