Explication requisitado in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should understand 'requisitado' as a word for 'requested'. Think of it as a formal way to say you want something. You might see it on a simple form or at a library. If you ask for a book, the library might say it is 'requisitado' by someone else. At this stage, focus on the masculine form 'requisitado' and the feminine form 'requisitada'. It is like the word 'asked' but used for things like documents or books. You don't need to use it in complex sentences yet, but recognizing it on signs or in simple emails is helpful. For example, 'O livro está requisitado' (The book is requested/checked out). This helps you understand why something might not be available. It is a good introduction to how Portuguese uses past participles as adjectives to describe the state of an object. Keep it simple and associate it with formal requests.

At the A2 level, you can start using 'requisitado' to describe popular things or people. You might say 'Ele é um ator muito requisitado' (He is a very sought-after actor). You should also be comfortable with the plural forms: 'requisitados' and 'requisitadas'. This level involves understanding that the word comes from the verb 'requisitar' (to request). You can use it in the workplace to talk about materials or documents: 'Eu já entreguei o material requisitado' (I already delivered the requested material). It is more formal than 'pedido', so using it makes your Portuguese sound more professional. You will often hear it in administrative contexts, like at a bank or a government office. Remember to always match the ending of the word to the thing you are talking about. If it's a 'pergunta' (question), it is 'requisitada'. If it's a 'documento' (document), it is 'requisitado'.

At the B1 level, you should be able to use 'requisitado' in more nuanced contexts, such as describing market trends or professional reputations. You can discuss why certain professionals are 'altamente requisitados' (highly sought after) and use the word to form passive voice sentences in the past, present, and future. For example: 'A presença do diretor será requisitada na reunião' (The director's presence will be requested at the meeting). You also start to distinguish 'requisitado' from similar words like 'solicitado' or 'exigido'. You understand that 'requisitado' implies a formal process or a high level of demand. This is also the stage where you might encounter the word in news articles or professional reports. You should be able to write short paragraphs using the word to describe a popular service or a necessary administrative step. It becomes a tool for adding precision to your descriptions of demand and supply.

At the B2 level, you use 'requisitado' with confidence in professional and academic settings. You understand its legal implications, such as when property or testimony is 'requisitado' by a court. You can use it metaphorically to describe someone who is socially in demand: 'Ela é a convidada mais requisitada para as festas da elite' (She is the most sought-after guest for elite parties). You are aware of the subtle differences in usage between Brazil and Portugal, such as the library context. You can also use it to discuss economic concepts like 'bens altamente requisitados' (highly demanded goods). Your ability to modify the word with various adverbs (constantemente, formalmente, urgentemente) allows for more expressive communication. You can explain the 'porquê' (the why) behind something being 'requisitado', linking it to quality, necessity, or rarity. This level marks a shift from simple recognition to versatile, high-level application in diverse social and professional registers.

At the C1 level, 'requisitado' is a natural part of your sophisticated vocabulary. You use it to discuss complex social dynamics, such as the 'perfil profissional mais requisitado' in a changing economy. You can interpret and use the word in literary or high-level journalistic contexts where it might carry a tone of irony or specific emphasis. For instance, you might analyze how a 'espaço requisitado' in a city reflects urban gentrification. You are comfortable using the word in the 'particípio absoluto' or in complex passive constructions. You understand the historical and etymological roots of the word, which helps you use it with precise legal or bureaucratic accuracy. You can also advise others on the register of the word, explaining why 'requisitado' is more appropriate than 'pedido' in a formal contract or a diplomatic letter. Your usage is fluid, and you can switch between its literal and figurative meanings without hesitation, often using it to add a layer of prestige or formality to your speech and writing.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 'requisitado' is indistinguishable from that of a native speaker with a high level of education. You use the word with total precision, capturing every subtle nuance of demand, formality, and prestige. You can use it in creative writing to evoke specific atmospheres—perhaps a 'silêncio requisitado' in a tense courtroom or a 'glória requisitada' in a poem. You are fully aware of its placement within the broader system of Portuguese verbal and adjectival structures. You can engage in debates about the linguistics of the word, its evolution from Latin, and its role in modern administrative Portuguese. You use 'requisitado' as a tool for rhetorical effect, knowing exactly when its formality will command respect or when its social connotation will highlight someone's status. There are no limitations to your use of the word; it is integrated into your mental lexicon across all domains, from technical legal documents to the most casual, yet sophisticated, social commentary.

requisitado en 30 secondes

Requisitado means 'requested' in a formal way or 'sought after' when describing a popular person.
It must change to match the gender and number of the noun (requisitada, requisitados, requisitadas).
It is commonly used in libraries, offices, law, and when talking about famous professionals.
It is more formal than the word 'pedido' and implies a specific protocol or high demand.

The Portuguese word requisitado is a versatile adjective and the past participle of the verb requisitar. At its core, it translates to 'requested', 'demanded', or 'sought after'. In a formal or administrative context, it describes something that has been officially asked for through a formal process, such as a document in a government office or a book in a public library. However, its usage extends far beyond the bureaucratic realm. When applied to people, requisitado takes on a nuance of popularity and high demand. A professional who is muito requisitado is someone whose services are constantly in demand, suggesting they are elite, skilled, or trendy. This dual nature makes it a vital word for learners to master, as it bridges the gap between formal documentation and social prestige. In daily life, you might encounter it while navigating a university portal or reading a celebrity profile. It implies a level of formality or a high volume of interest that the simpler word pedido (asked for) does not always convey. Understanding requisitado requires recognizing that it often implies a protocol or a competitive environment where multiple parties might want the same resource or person.

Formal Usage: Refers to items obtained through an official request or requisition, common in legal, academic, and corporate settings.
Social Usage: Describes individuals or services that are highly sought after due to their quality, fame, or specialized skills.
Grammatical Agreement: As an adjective, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies: requisitado (ms), requisitada (fs), requisitados (mp), requisitadas (fp).

Este livro é o mais requisitado da biblioteca este mês.

O advogado é muito requisitado para casos de direito internacional.

Os documentos requisitados pelo juiz devem ser entregues amanhã.

A atriz tornou-se a mais requisitada para campanhas publicitárias.

O material de escritório foi requisitado pelo departamento de marketing.

Using requisitado correctly involves understanding its role as both a passive descriptor and an active indicator of demand. When used with the verb ser (to be), it often describes a permanent state of being in demand. For example, 'Ele é um médico requisitado' means he is generally a sought-after doctor. When used with foi (was) or other forms of the passive voice, it indicates a specific action that took place: 'O formulário foi requisitado pelo diretor.' This distinction is crucial for conveying the right meaning. Furthermore, the word frequently appears in the plural to describe groups of items or people. If a library has several popular books, they are 'livros requisitados'. If a company needs multiple specialists, they are 'profissionais requisitados'. The flexibility of this word allows it to function in legal texts, where 'o bem requisitado' might refer to property seized or requested by the state, and in fashion magazines, where 'a modelo requisitada' refers to the girl of the moment.

Passive Voice: Used to indicate that an object or person was the target of a request. Example: 'O arquivo foi requisitado ontem.'
Degree of Demand: Often modified by adverbs like 'muito', 'altamente', or 'pouco' to show how much something is in demand.
Contextual Shifts: The meaning shifts slightly between 'formally requested' in business and 'popular' in social contexts.

Os serviços de consultoria são altamente requisitados por novas empresas.

A informação requisitada não está disponível no momento.

Ele é o palestrante mais requisitado da conferência.

As ferramentas requisitadas devem ser devolvidas após o uso.

O depoimento foi requisitado pelas autoridades competentes.

In the real world, requisitado pops up in diverse scenarios. In Portugal and Brazil, if you go to a library (biblioteca), you will see 'livros requisitados' to indicate books that are currently checked out or have been reserved by someone else. In a professional setting, a 'perfil muito requisitado' refers to a job candidate with skills that are currently in high demand, such as data science or specialized engineering. Television and media use it constantly to describe actors, singers, or influencers who are 'the face' of many brands. For instance, 'A Gisele Bündchen continua sendo uma das modelos mais requisitadas do mundo.' In a legal or governmental context, a 'mandado' (warrant) might lead to documents being 'requisitados' by the police. You will also hear it in hospitality; a 'guia turístico requisitado' is one who is booked months in advance. The word carries a weight of legitimacy—if something is requisitado, it is not just 'wanted' in a whim, but sought after because of a specific need, rule, or recognized value.

Libraries: Used to describe the status of books or media that have been borrowed or requested by patrons.
Job Market: Describes professionals who receive many job offers or are headhunted frequently.
Government/Law: Used when authorities demand evidence, presence, or documentation for official proceedings.

O passaporte foi requisitado para a emissão do visto.

O pianista é muito requisitado para concertos na Europa.

A ajuda humanitária foi requisitada pelas nações vizinhas.

Este modelo de carro é muito requisitado para aluguel.

O apoio técnico foi requisitado com urgência.

One of the most frequent errors English speakers make when using requisitado is confusing it with the English word 'requisite'. While 'requisite' (adjective) means 'necessary' or 'required for a purpose' (often translated as necessário or indispensável), requisitado specifically means that a request has actually been made. Another common mistake is failing to apply gender agreement. Since it ends in '-o', beginners often forget to change it to requisitada when referring to feminine nouns like 'ajuda' or 'informação'. Furthermore, learners sometimes use requisitado when they simply mean 'ordered' in a restaurant. You don't 'requisitar' a steak; you 'pedir' a steak. Requisitar implies a level of officialdom or a formal transaction. Finally, don't confuse requisitado with querido. While both can mean 'wanted', querido usually means 'dear' or 'loved', whereas requisitado means 'in demand' or 'sought after' for professional or functional reasons.

False Cognate Confusion: Don't use it to mean 'necessary' (requisite). Use 'necessário' for that.
Over-formality: Avoid using it for casual requests like asking a friend for a favor. Use 'pedir' instead.
Gender Mismatch: Always check if the noun is feminine (a, as) or masculine (o, os) before choosing the ending.

Incorrect: O sal foi requisitado à mesa. (Too formal for salt). Correct: O sal foi pedido à mesa.

Incorrect: Ela é uma médica muito requisitado. Correct: Ela é uma médica muito requisitada.

To enrich your Portuguese vocabulary, it is helpful to compare requisitado with its synonyms and near-synonyms. While requisitado is the gold standard for formal requests and high demand, other words might fit better depending on the intensity or the context. Solicitado is a direct synonym, often used in business correspondence ('conforme solicitado' - as requested). Pedido is the most common and versatile word for 'requested' or 'ordered', suitable for everything from food to favors. Demandado is more technical, often used in economics (supply and demand) or law (the defendant). If you want to emphasize that someone is popular or famous, procurado (sought after/wanted) or badalado (trendy/hyped) are excellent alternatives. In a professional context, disputado (competed for) suggests that many people are fighting to hire that person or buy that item.

Solicitado vs Requisitado: 'Solicitado' is polite and standard; 'requisitado' feels more official or implies higher demand.
Procurado vs Requisitado: 'Procurado' can also mean 'wanted by the police'. 'Requisitado' is always positive or neutral.
Exigido vs Requisitado: 'Exigido' means 'demanded' or 'mandatory', implying no choice, whereas 'requisitado' is a request that has been made.

Este é um dos destinos turísticos mais procurados do país.

The word 'livro' is masculine, so the adjective must also be masculine.

É um requisitado para o visto. → É um requisito para o visto.
Confusion between 'requisitado' (requested) and 'requisito' (requirement).

Astuces

Business Emails

Use 'Conforme requisitado' (As requested) at the start of an email when you are sending something someone asked for. It sounds very professional and organized.

Agreement Matters

Always look at the noun. If you are talking about 'as informações' (the information), you must use 'requisitadas'. This is a common point where learners lose marks in tests.

Professional Praise

If you want to compliment a colleague's success, say 'Você está muito requisitado!'. It implies they are doing a great job and everyone wants to work with them.

Library Logic

When in Portugal, look for the 'Requisição' desk in a library. That's where you go to borrow or return books.

The 'Z' Sound

Pay attention to the 's' in 'requisitado'. It is between two vowels, so it sounds like a 'z'. Clear 'z' sounds are a hallmark of good Portuguese pronunciation.

Passive Voice

Practice using 'foi requisitado' in the passive voice. It's a great way to talk about actions without always saying who did them, which is common in formal writing.

Avoid 'Kwee'

Make sure the 'qui' part sounds like 'key'. Many English speakers accidentally say 'kwee', which makes the word hard for natives to understand.

The Form Trick

Imagine a physical form (a requisition form). Every time you see that form in your mind, say 'requisitado'. This links the physical object to the word.

Office Talk

Use 'material requisitado' when talking to the office manager about supplies. It shows you understand the formal procedures of the workplace.

Requisitado vs Pedido

If there is a system or a protocol, use 'requisitado'. If it's just a casual ask, use 'pedido'. This distinction will make you sound like a more advanced speaker.

Mémorise-le

Moyen mnémotechnique

Think of a 'REQUISITION' form. If you fill one out, the item is 'REQUISITADO'.

Association visuelle

Imagine a library book with a bright red 'RESERVED' stamp on it. That book is 'requisitado'.
