What does the word pochemuchka mean?
pochemuchka?
pochemuchka (почемучка) is a Russian word. This refers to a person who asks too many questions. It is pronounced “počemúčka”.
The word goes back to a Russian children’s book (Что я ви́дел; Što ja vídel, What I saw), which tells the story of a boy who is nicknamed Alyosha Pochemuchka – because he was never satisfied with the answers he received.
