EN: persistent; pesky; importunate
This is that kid who keeps asking "Are we there yet?" every 5 minutes. Or your friend who won't stop messaging you "uy" until you reply. It's persistence that has crossed over to the annoying side. It can be endearing (like a cute, playful kid) or super irritating (like a debt collector). The OG "seen-zoner's" worst nightmare.
Can be used affectionately for children or negatively for annoying adults. The context and tone of voice are key.
