خلفية ثقافية
The phrase reflects the Western emphasis on meritocracy and objective standards. In professional environments, it is used to ensure fairness by measuring everyone against the same yardstick. It gained massive popularity with the rise of standardized testing and bureaucratic systems in the 20th century.

What It Means
Think of meet requirement as checking a box. It means you have reached the minimum level needed for something. If a ride requires you to be 4 feet tall, and you are 4 feet tall, you meet the requirement. It is about being 'enough' for a rule or a goal. It is not about being the best. It is about being qualified.
How To Use It
You usually use it with a specific noun. You can meet a requirement for a job, a visa, or a school. You can also use it in the plural: meet requirements. It often follows words like 'fail to' or 'must'. For example, 'You must meet the requirements to enter.' It sounds very logical and clear. Use it when there is a list of rules to follow.
When To Use It
Use this in professional settings mostly. It is perfect for job interviews. Use it when talking about laws or official forms. It works well when discussing technical specs for a computer. If your laptop can run a new game, it meets the requirements. It is the language of 'yes' or 'no' outcomes.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for feelings or vague things. You do not meet the requirement of a good sunset. Do not use it for a romantic partner unless you want to sound like a robot. Saying 'You meet my requirements for a boyfriend' is a great way to stay single. Use 'fit' or 'suit' for personal tastes instead.
Cultural Background
Western culture loves checklists and transparency. We like knowing exactly what is needed to succeed. This phrase comes from a world of contracts and standards. It reflects a society that values objective rules over subjective feelings. It became very popular during the industrial age when parts had to fit perfectly.
Common Variations
You might hear satisfy the requirements or fulfill the requirements. These mean the same thing but sound slightly fancier. In casual talk, people just say 'qualify' or 'make the cut'. If you exceed them, you are 'overqualified'. If you don't, you 'fall short'.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
