Usage notes
- Use 'richiedere' for formal requests (e.g., documents, permissions). 'Chiedere' is more general and informal.
- Often used in bureaucratic contexts. Avoid with friends unless joking about red tape.
- Takes 'avere' as auxiliary in compound tenses (e.g., 'ho richiesto'). No agreement with direct object.
- past participle richiesto
