条件 (tiáo jiàn) — (noun) condition, circumstance; (noun) requirement, prerequisite

Definition

条件 means both 'conditions' (a situation you act under, like 在困难∼下) and 'requirement' (a rule you must meet). 要求 leans more toward a 'demand' from a person; 前提 is a stricter 'prerequisite' for an argument or agreement.
