requests

Asks for something

Requests are things asked for—favors, demands, or formal applications: We've received several requests for refunds, at the request of the committee.

To request is to ask, typically more formally than simply asking: She requested a meeting with the director.

A request can also be a song or piece asked for: The DJ played my request.
