poiadavkách

Poïadavkách is a non-diacritic rendering that appears in Czech and Slovak texts as the plural locative form of a noun meaning a demand, request, or requirement. In standard orthography the related base forms are usually požiadavka/požiadavky in Slovak and požadavek/požadavky in Czech, with the locative plural typically realized as požiadavkách/požadavcích. The non-diacritic variant can occur in everyday writing, databases, or systems that do not preserve diacritics.

In meaning, the word denotes conditions, specifications, or demands that must be met. It is widely used in business, law, technology, and product development to describe what is required by customers, contracts, or standards. For example, in Slovak you might see požiadavky zákazníkov, meaning the customers’ requirements, while in Czech the equivalent is požadavky zákazníků. A common verb pairing is splniť požiadavky (to meet or fulfill the requirements).

Etymology traces the term to a verb meaning to demand or request, with the noun form evolving to designate formal needs or conditions. In practice, distinctions exist between requirements (specifications) and demands (claims): požiadavka/požadavky often refer to formal needs that should be satisfied, whereas nároky emphasizes more assertive claims or rights.

Notes on usage and variants: diacritics are important for precise meaning in Czech and Slovak; without diacritics, readers may encounter forms like poiadavkách, which can cause ambiguity. In multilingual or IT contexts, the non-diacritic form may appear in catalogs, data fields, or legacy texts, but standard spellings should be used in formal writing.
