requeira

Requeira is a Portuguese verb form derived from requerer, meaning to require or to demand. It is the third-person singular present subjunctive form of requerer, and in practice it appears in subordinate clauses that express necessity, obligation, or a request, typically in formal or legal language. Examples include: É essencial que ele requeira os documentos or Que ela requeira mais informações. The form is also used with other subjects in the present subjunctive (for instance, que nós requeiramos).

In everyday Portuguese, speakers may prefer synonyms such as exigir, pedir, or solicitar, but requeira appears in more formal or administrative contexts, especially in written documents and legal texts. The tense bears the nuance of a request or requirement contemplated within a larger statement, rather than a direct imperative.

Etymology traces requeira to the Latin requirere, through the Portuguese verb requerer. It shares a common root with cognates in other Romance languages that express the idea of demanding or needing something.

Related forms of requerer include eu requeiro (present indicative) and as other subjunctive and indicative conjugations (requeiras, requeira, requeiramos, requeirais, requeiram). Requeira itself is not a standalone noun or toponym; its usage is restricted to the verbal domain within formal Portuguese.
