Tutaj proszę wpisać imię i nazwisko.

A word-for-word breakdown is:

• Tutaj = here
• proszę = please
• wpisać = to enter / to fill in / to write in
• imię = first name / given name
• i = and
• nazwisko = surname / last name

So the whole sentence is a polite instruction meaning something like Please enter your first name and surname here.

Proszę is a very common way to make instructions polite in Polish.

In signs, forms, and official instructions, proszę + infinitive is extremely common:

• Proszę czekać = Please wait
• Proszę podpisać = Please sign
• Proszę wpisać = Please enter / fill in

It sounds polite but still clearly instructional. On a form or website, this is a very natural phrasing.

Because Polish often uses proszę + infinitive as a polite command.

Instead of using the direct imperative, like:

• Wpisz imię i nazwisko = Enter your name and surname

you can say:

• Proszę wpisać imię i nazwisko

This is softer, more formal, and especially common in public instructions, forms, offices, websites, and customer-facing text.

Yes, wpisać is a perfective verb.

That matters because the instruction is about completing one whole action: entering the information once, successfully.

Compare:

• wpisywać = imperfective, more about the process or repeated action
• wpisać = perfective, to enter/write in completely

On forms and interfaces, Polish often prefers the perfective verb in instructions because the goal is a finished result.

They are the direct objects of wpisać, so they are in the accusative case.

But here is the important part: for these neuter nouns, the accusative singular looks the same as the nominative singular.

So:

• imię = nominative singular and also accusative singular
• nazwisko = nominative singular and also accusative singular

That is why they appear unchanged.

In this context, imię means first name or given name, not your full name.

Polish usually distinguishes:

• imię = first name / given name
• nazwisko = surname / family name

So imię i nazwisko is the standard phrase for first name and last name.

Because this is the standard, explicit way to ask for both parts separately.

On forms, imię i nazwisko is extremely common and natural. It clearly tells the user to provide:

• their given name
• their surname

There is also pełne imię i nazwisko if someone wants to emphasize full name, but in many contexts just imię i nazwisko is enough.

Not quite.

Wpisać suggests writing or entering something into a specific place, such as:

• a form
• a box
• a field
• a document

That is why it fits perfectly here.

Compare:

• pisać = to write
• napisać = to write something, complete the writing
• wpisać = to write/enter something into a designated space

So on a form, wpisać is much more natural than napisać.

Tutaj means here, and it points to the place where the person should enter the information.

Yes, Polish word order is flexible, so it can be moved. For example:

• Tutaj proszę wpisać imię i nazwisko
• Proszę tutaj wpisać imię i nazwisko
• Proszę wpisać tutaj imię i nazwisko

All of these are possible. The original version sounds very natural for a label or instruction near a form field, with tutaj emphasized first.

It is polite and neutral-formal.

It is not intimate or casual. It sounds appropriate for:

• forms
• websites
• office documents
• official instructions
• public-facing notices

It does not directly address someone with ty or pan/pani, so it feels impersonal in the normal instruction style used in Polish.

Yes, in a sense.

Polish often leaves the subject unspoken, especially in commands and instructions. Here, the sentence is understood as addressing the reader:

• Please enter...

So the you is implied, just as in many English instructions.

A more direct singular informal command would be:

• Tutaj wpisz imię i nazwisko

This would be used with someone you address as ty, for example a child or a close friend.

A very polite formal command to one person could be:

• Proszę wpisać imię i nazwisko

which is exactly the sentence you have here, and is more natural in public instructions anyway.

Imię is pronounced roughly like EE-myenh, though not exactly like English sounds.

A few notes:

• i = like ee
• mi is softened because of the following vowel
• ę is a nasal vowel, but at the end of a word it is often pronounced less strongly nasal in everyday speech

So learners often hear something close to imi-e or imye, but the correct spelling is imię.

Yes, in practical use that is often what it means.

Even though imię i nazwisko literally means first name and surname, in many real contexts the instruction is functionally equivalent to enter your full name here.

But grammatically, Polish is still explicitly naming the two parts: given name and surname.

Yes, very common.

This kind of sentence is exactly the sort of Polish you see in:

• online forms
• registration pages
• office documents
• questionnaires
• application forms

It is standard instructional Polish: short, polite, and clear.
