معنی
To inquire about the time or date of an event.
زمینه فرهنگی
In North Indian social circles, asking 'Yeh kab hua?' is often followed by 'Bataya nahi?' (You didn't tell me?), implying that friends should share news quickly. In Indian offices, this phrase is used to track 'scope creep' or sudden changes in project requirements, often with a tone of mild frustration. This is a classic 'dramatic reveal' line in soap operas (serials) when a character discovers a secret. The concept of 'Shubh Muhurat' (auspicious time) means that 'when' something happened is often as important as 'what' happened.
The 'Hui' Rule
If you are asking about a feminine word like 'Baat' (matter), always use 'Hui'. It makes you sound much more native.
Don't over-formalize
Avoid saying 'Yeh kab ghatit hua?' in casual conversation; it sounds like a textbook or a robot.
