poadavky

Poadavky is a non-diacritic variant of a Slavic term that in standard spelling appears as požadavky in Czech or požiadavky in Slovak. The word broadly means requirements, demands, or prerequisites and is used in contexts where criteria, obligations, or specifications must be met. The diacritic forms are the preferred spellings in formal writing in their respective languages.

In Czech, the plural noun požadavky is commonly used to describe criteria in various domains, from product specifications to legal or regulatory obligations. In Slovak, the corresponding plural is požiadavky, similarly applied to needs, specifications, and conditions that must be fulfilled. The term can also refer to demands in a more assertive sense, depending on tone and context.

Typical uses include:

- Business and procurement: describing the criteria a supplier, product, or service must satisfy.

- Human resources: listing requirements for a job position, such as experience, skills, or education.

- Software and systems engineering: distinguishing between functional požadavky (functional requirements) and nefunkčné (nonfunctional) requirements, as part of a requirements specification.

- Law and policy: identifying regulatory or contractual requirements that parties must comply with.

Synonyms or related concepts in English include requirements, specifications, prerequisites, and qualifications. The ascii form poadavky often appears in older documents, plain text without diacritics, or in data systems that do not support special characters. Understanding the diacritics helps to clarify meaning and language; nevertheless, poadavky is generally understood within Slavic-language contexts as referring to necessary criteria or obligations.
