زمینه فرهنگی
Saying 'Abhi aaya' is a way to show eagerness. Even if you are slightly delayed, it is considered more polite than giving a long, realistic time estimate. In cities like Karachi, 'Abhi aaya' is often shortened to just 'Aaya' in text messages (SMS/WhatsApp). In offices, a junior will always use the plural/formal 'Abhi aaye' or 'Abhi aaya' (referring to themselves) to show they are at the senior's beck and call. When a guest asks for something, the host will say 'Abhi aaya' to ensure the guest doesn't feel ignored for even a second.
