Usage Note
Kargahin is the object-focus -in form of karga, focusing on the thing being carried, loaded, or charged. It spans physical cargo — sacks, boxes, produce — as well as the figurative sense of bearing a burden; the Spanish root (carga, load) underlies both uses. Pair it with the actor-focus magkarga when the person doing the carrying is the grammatical subject.
