What does the きた in this sentence mean?


> 今度は何を覚えてきた?

Mother said to her daughter that just got back home

I wanna interpret it as "what did you learn? (and got back here home)?" but i
don't know if that's correct.




You're corret. This -きた (past form of くる) is a [subsidiary
verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/18952/5010) that indicates the
listener "comes", or "brings the result of remembering". You usually don't
need to translate this type of くる into English.
