Hogaya

"Hogaya" is a compound word that’s a combination of “be” (ho) and “went” (gaya). Its literal meaning is “became”. You’ll often hear this word said by itself when a task has been completed or something has been finished. For example, if someone has gone away to carry out a task, upon returning they may say “Thik hai, hogaya.” (Fine, it’s done). It can also be said in a rising tone to question if something has been completed. “Hogaya?” (Have you finished?)
