biały [here]
This word appears in a text message between friends. I obviously know that 'biały' normally means 'white'. But I don't really know what it means in this context:
"Byłes u białego? Jestem u liska"
Sorry I can't provide any further context but this is the entire message and there is nothing before it.
Can I put "Did you go to biały's" (I am presuming here that it is someone's nickname/name of a shop)
Thank you in advance
