Questions & Answers about Votre demande est déjà enregistrée au secrétariat.

What does demande mean here?

In this sentence, demande means request or application, depending on the context.

For example:

• in an office or administration, it might mean an application
• in a more general situation, it might mean a request

So Votre demande is your request / your application.

Why does the sentence start with Votre?

Votre means your.

It is used:

• when speaking to one person formally
• or to more than one person

French uses votre instead of ton/ta/tes when the situation is polite, official, or formal. Since this sentence sounds administrative, votre is the natural choice.

Why is it est enregistrée and not just enregistre?
