requérons

requérons is a French verb form. It is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb requerir. The verb requerir means to require, to request, or to demand. Therefore, "nous requérons" translates to "we require," "we request," or "we demand" in English. This verb is often used in formal contexts, such as legal documents, official correspondence, or academic writing, to express a need, a plea, or an imperative.

The verb requerir itself is derived from the Latin verb requirere, which also signifies to seek, to ask for, or to need. In modern French, requerir is less common than its synonym "demander" (to ask for) in everyday conversation. However, it retains its specific nuance of a more formal or urgent request or requirement. For example, a contract might state "Le locataire requiert l'accord du propriétaire" (The tenant requests the landlord's agreement), indicating a formal need for approval. Similarly, in a legal setting, "Les parties requièrent l'intervention du tribunal" (The parties request the court's intervention) conveys a demand for judicial action. Understanding the context is crucial for accurately interpreting the meaning of "nous requérons."
