requerí

Requerí is not a widely recognized standalone term in major languages. It most often appears as either a misspelling or a nonstandard conjugation of the Spanish verb requerir, which means to require or to need. Because this form is not listed as a standard inflected form in standard Spanish dictionaries, it is generally treated as an orthographic error or as a dialectal variant rather than a separate lexical entry.

Etymology and meaning

Requerir derives from Latin quaerere with the prefix re-, indicating a bringing back to a state of needing or demanding. In contemporary Spanish, requerir is used transitively: it requires something, or it requires someone to perform an action. In legal and administrative language, requerir can also mean to formally demand or to summon someone to comply, such as requesting documents or a mandatory appearance.

Usage and related forms

The standard present-tense forms of requerir are requiero, requieres, requiere, requerimos, requerís, requieren. The noun requerimiento is commonly used to denote a formal demand or request. Past tense forms of requerir are irregular and form a distinct set (for example, requirí/ requirió/ requirieron in common conjugation charts). Note that the spelling "requerí" is not typically listed as a correct standard form in dictionaries and is usually interpreted as an error or a mistaken variant of the correct conjugations.
