reikalaujama

Reikalaujama is a Lithuanian passive present participle form of the verb reikalauti, meaning to require or demand. It is used to indicate that something is required or requested, typically in formal, administrative, or legal contexts. In sentences, it functions as an adjective or predicative descriptor: for example, reikalaujama informacija means information that is required, reikalaujami dokumentai means documents that are required.

Grammatical notes and usage patterns: as a participle, reikalaujama agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. It appears in official texts, forms, and regulations to designate obligations or prerequisites. The word is often paired with nouns denoting documents, conditions, or actions, such as reikalaujama informacija, reikalaujamos sąlygos, or reikalaujamas laikotarpis. In many cases it serves to present requirements impersonally, for instance in phrases like "reikalaujama laikytis taisyklių" (it is required to follow the rules).

Relation to related terms: the corresponding noun is reikalavimas, meaning a requirement or demand, while synonyms or near-synonyms in formal language include privaloma and būtina, both of which can convey obligation but without the exact passive participle nuance of reikalaujama. Reikalaukimas in active voice is reikalauti, which contrasts with the passive form used in reikalaujama.

Notes: reikalaujama is predominantly found in official documents, guidelines, and bureaucratic communications. It is less common in colloquial speech, where simpler expressions like būtina or privaloma are more typical.
