changa
Okay; alright (goodbye)
Good or okay — and the classic casual Punjabi goodbye.
ਚੰਗਾ, ਮੈਂ ਚੱਲਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
Alright, I am off.
'ਚੰਗਾ' (changa) means 'good' and is derived from the Sanskrit word 'चंगा' (cāṅga), which conveys a similar meaning of goodness or well-being.
Used informally as a response or an affirmation, 'changa' is prevalent in colloquial Punjabi across various regions and among different age groups.
