"Sorta" is short for "sort of". "sorta" is probably considered slang. In some cases, it might mean about the same as "somewhat".

You can use it in a sentence like this:

Question: Do you like that band?
Answer: Sorta / Sort Of

It means you like it a little or you aren't sure if you like it.

Another example:

That shirt is Sort Of / Sorta expensive.

It means the shirt is a bit expensive, but maybe not really expensive.

One more example:

I am sorta cold.

It means - I am somewhat cold.

I guess someone here who is fluent in Japanese can explain it better.
