basic requirement
An essential condition or requirement that must be met before something else becomes possible or can take place; a foundation for a subsequent step.
Gegenseitiges Vertrauen ist die Grundvoraussetzung für eine funktionierende Partnerschaft.
Mutual trust is the basic requirement for a functioning partnership.
This word is made up of 'Grund-' (basic/fundamental) and 'Voraussetzung' (requirement/precondition). 'Voraussetzung' itself consists of 'voraus' (ahead/in advance) and 'Setzung' (setting, from setzen). So it is literally something that must be 'vorausgesetzt' (presupposed) — a fundamental condition.
Ein abgeschlossenes Studium ist die Grundvoraussetzung für diesen Job.
A completed university degree is the basic requirement for this job.
The construction is typically 'die Grundvoraussetzung für etwas (Akkusativ)' (the basic requirement for something, accusative). This expresses what the condition is necessary for. Alternatively, a subordinate clause with 'dass' (that) can also follow.
Sprachkenntnisse sind eine Grundvoraussetzung für die internationale Zusammenarbeit.
Language skills are a basic requirement for international cooperation.
Common verbs used with 'Grundvoraussetzung' (basic requirement) are 'erfüllen' (to meet/fulfill), 'schaffen' (to create), or simply 'sein' (to be). You can meet or create a basic requirement, or something is a basic requirement.
Der Bewerber erfüllt alle Grundvoraussetzungen für die Stelle.
The applicant meets all the basic requirements for the position.
condition / requirement
Both words refer to something that must be fulfilled before a further step is possible. Grundvoraussetzung, however, emphasizes that something forms the necessary basis, whereas Bedingung can also refer to a single rule or requirement. Use “Grundvoraussetzung” for an indispensable foundation.
