Minutochku

Minutochku (Russian: минуточку) is a diminutive form of the Russian word "minuta" (минута), meaning "minute." It translates literally to "little minute" or "just a minute." It is typically used as an interjection or filler word, similar to the English expressions "just a minute," "one moment," "wait a moment," or "hold on a second." The addition of the suffix "-ochku" adds a sense of informality, endearment, or politeness to the request for a short delay. Its usage implies that the delay will be very brief.
