Usage Note

Chiesto is the irregular past participle of chiedere (to ask). Used as an adjective it agrees in gender and number: chiesta, chiesti, chieste. In compound tenses chiedere takes avere: ho chiesto (I asked). Do not confuse with questo (this), which sounds similar but has a different initial consonant cluster.

Examples

"Ha ottenuto tutto quello che aveva chiesto."
