Thik Hai

"Thik hai", pronounced "teek hey", literally means "is fine". In this regard, it’s a bit like the word “accha” and is often used along with “accha” or instead of “accha”. “I’m going shopping to buy milk, bread and vegetables. I’ll be back by 3 p.m.” “Accha, accha, thik hai”. (Good, good, fine). “Thik hai, I’m going now” (Alright, I’m going now). Thik hai is also a common reply to the question of how you’re feeling. It can also be said casually in a rising tone of voice to ask someone how they’re feeling. “Thik hai?” If you’re only feeling so-so, the response would be "thik-thik", otherwise, reply “thik hai” in a neutral tone.
