Iadostí

Iadostí is a term used in Slovak and Czech language contexts to refer to formal requests or applications. In Slovak, the base noun is žiadosť, meaning a request, application, or petition; its plural forms include žiadosti (nominative plural) and žiadostí (genitive plural). In Czech, the corresponding word is žádost, with similar meanings and plural forms. The form iadostí appears in non-diacritic texts as a variant of these words, reflecting the same concept of multiple requests or applications addressed to an authority or institution.

Etymology and meaning: The noun žiadosť/žádost is derived from the verb žiadať/žádat, meaning to request or to ask, with the common Slavic suffix -osť that creates abstract nouns. Thus, žiadosť denotes the act or content of requesting something. The plural forms denote the objects of such requests or the requests themselves in a collective sense.

Usage: The term is widely used in bureaucratic, administrative, and legal language. It can refer to written submissions to government agencies, courts, employers, or other organizations. Examples in Slovak include podanie žiadostí o vydanie pasu (submission of applications for a passport) and žiadostí o informácie (requests for information). In Czech, equivalent phrases include podání žádostí o vydání pasu or žádosti o informace.
