Hindi term or phrase: आपको पता है न? ---Aapko patA hai nA?
आपने आजतक जो काम मुझे सौंपा, वो मैंने पूरा किया, आपको पता है न?

Aapnay Ajtak jo kAm mujhe saumpA, vo maine poorA kiyA, Apko patA hai na?

What is the most befitting manner of translating such type of natural phrases.

Another similar phrase:

आप समझ गए न? Ap samajh gaye na?

I think we can use "Do you know" or "Have you understood" respectively but these do not communicate the implied connotations.

Could you suggest something? Thanks
