المعنى
Asking about someone's residence.
خلفية ثقافية
Privacy is valued. Don't be offended if someone gives a vague answer like 'near the center'. The phrase is identical in Slovak, as the languages are mutually intelligible. The concept is similar, but the language is different ('Gdzie mieszkasz?'). In many post-socialist countries, asking about housing is common as it reflects your neighborhood and social status.
Pronunciation
The 'y' in 'bydlíš' sounds like a short 'i'. Practice saying it clearly.
Privacy
Don't be surprised if people don't give you their exact street address immediately.
