verb (conditional perfect)
hōgabēkāgittu
"would have had to go"
"would have had to go" in spoken Kannada is hōgabēkāgittu. It's a verb (conditional perfect) that you'll first encounter in Lesson 14: I'd Recommend the Masala Dosa of the KannadaMaadi course, where Anu and Ravi use it in context.
Grammar note hōgu 'go' + bēku 'must' + āgittu 'had become' — counterfactual past obligation
