Just Did (~ta bakari)

~たばかり indicates that an action has just been completed — the time elapsed is short. It is formed by adding ばかり after the past tense (ta-form) of a verb. The speaker perceives the action as having happened very recently.

Importantly, 'recently' is subjective. ~たばかり can refer to something that happened minutes, days, or even months ago, as long as the speaker feels it was recent. For example: この会社に入ったばかりです could mean you joined the company last week or a few months ago — the point is that it still feels new to you.

Compare with ~たところだ, which specifically means 'just now' (objectively very recent — usually minutes). ~たばかり has a wider time range and is more about the speaker's perception of recency.
