Explanation:
It could be translated in many ways:
-I understand: "Yeah, 5 o'clock, gotcha" (Longman)
-I've got you (your mistake). Could be translated: "آهای حواسم بود/اشتباه کردی"
-"I understand you." or, "I will comply." "حالیت می‌کنم، بهت می‌فهمونم" (Urban Dictionary)
-As a noun it means: An unexpected problem or usually unpleasant surprise (Merriam-Webster): "The program has a few gotchas in store for unsuspecting computer users."
-Also according to TheFreeDictionary a game or endeavor in which one party seeks to catch another out, as in a mistake or lie.

-Sometimes could be translated as "گیرت انداختم" according to Oxford: I have got you (used to express satisfaction at having captured or defeated someone or uncovered their faults).
