出来上がる
できあがる
- flat (heiban)
- middle-high (nakadaka): falls after mora 4
How to read it: a line over a kana means the voice is high there, and ↓ marks where it drops. A kana with no line is low. With no ↓ the pitch stays high to the end and does not drop even on a following particle (が, は).
to be finished, to be ready
Dekiagaru is deki, the stem of 出来る (dekiru), plus 上がる (agaru, “to go up, come to an end”).
