requieres

Requieres is not a standard English word. In most English-language contexts it is treated as a misspelling of the verb requires. Because of its similarity to the correct form, it can appear in informal text, comments, or typographical errors, but it is not listed as a correct spelling in reputable dictionaries. In formal writing, the correct form should be requires.

In Spanish, the sequence resembles forms derived from the verb requerir, which means to require or need. The standard second-person singular present indicative form is requieres (you require). While some learners may encounter or produce requieres or reques) variants, the typical Spanish spelling is requieres, not requieres or requieres, and such deviations are generally treated as errors in formal education.

Etymology and related forms: The English verb require comes from the Latin requirere, formed with re- and quaerere (to seek). The modern English form requires reflects these historical roots through Old French and Latin developments. The nonstandard English spelling requieres likely arises from mishearing, influence from similar-looking verbs, or keyboard errors rather than established etymology.

Usage notes: Because requieres is not recognized as correct in standard English, editors and style guides recommend correcting it to requires. In multilingual contexts, it may surface as a mistaken direct loan or as a mistaken Spanish form among non-native speakers, underscoring the value of careful proofreading for language-specific conjugations.
