poiadavku

Požiadavka is a Slovak noun meaning a demand, requirement, or request. It denotes an obligation or condition that must be satisfied, or a formal ask for something, often in business, legal, or technical contexts. The term is used in contracts, procurement, product specifications, and project planning to describe what is expected or required from a party.

The word comes from the verb požiadať, to request or demand. It has cognates in other West Slavic languages, for example Czech požadavek, and broadly corresponds to related terms in neighboring languages.

In usage, požiadavka can refer to customer or user requirements, system or product requirements, or contractual conditions. In software and systems engineering, požiadavky na systém refer to the set of functional and nonfunctional requirements that a system must meet. In procurement or legal contexts, a požiadavka states what a supplier must deliver or what a contract stipulates. In everyday language, one may make a požiadavka to an administrator or service provider, or speak of požiadavky zákazníka to indicate client expectations.
