Questions & Answers about Proszę nie mówić naraz.
In this sentence, proszę works like please.
Literally, proszę comes from the verb prosić (to ask/request), so it can also mean I ask or I request. But in everyday Polish, proszę + infinitive is a very common way to make a polite instruction:
- Proszę czekać. = Please wait.
- Proszę usiąść. = Please sit down.
- Proszę nie mówić naraz. = Please don’t all speak at once.
So here it makes the sentence polite, neutral, and natural.
Because this sentence uses the pattern proszę + infinitive.
Polish has more than one way to tell people not to do something:
- Nie mów! = Don’t speak! / Don’t say it!
- singular, informal
- Nie mówcie! = Don’t speak!
- plural, informal
- Proszę nie mówić. = Please don’t speak.
- polite, neutral, often used in public or formal situations
So proszę nie mówić naraz sounds like something a teacher, moderator, receptionist, or announcer might say.
