覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 request に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、語尾は /s/ ではなく /ts/ に近く発音されます。「依頼や要望が複数ある」と捉え、three requests、customer requests、receive requests、handle requests を一まとまりで覚えましょう。動詞の三人称単数形にも同じ形がありますが、ここでは複数名詞です。
Requests is the plural of the countable noun request, so use it when there is more than one appeal or desired action: three requests, several customer requests, or all your requests. The final -s follows the /t/ sound and is pronounced /s/, producing the ending /ts/. Useful combinations include receive requests, make requests, handle requests, and respond to requests. The same spelling can also be the third-person singular form of the verb request, but in this entry it names multiple things that people have asked for.
例文

ご要望はこの用紙に書いてください。
The manager checked all customer requests in the morning.
マネージャーは午前中に顧客からの要望をすべて確認しました。

requests の語源・成り立ち Etymology
requests は request の複数形で、語源は古フランス語 requeste、さらにラテン語 requaerere「求める・問いただす」にさかのぼる。re-「強く・再び」+ quaerere「探す」の組み合わせなので、相手に何かを求めて申し出る意味が見える。関連語は question, require。
Requests consists of the noun request plus the regular plural ending -s. Request came into English through Old French requeste and is ultimately related to Latin requirere, meaning “to seek, ask, or inquire after.” That Latin verb combines re- with quaerere, “to seek or ask.” The word developed into a noun for an act of asking and later also became a verb. Question and require are historically related through the same Latin root.
