뜻
A piece of formal clothing.
문화적 배경
A white shirt is the 'uniform' of the Slovak intelligentsia and business class. It is rare to see a man in a high-level position without one. Traditional shirts were white to show the purity of the wearer. Embroidery was added to the collar and cuffs, but the body remained white. The 'Stužková' is the first time many young men wear a formal white shirt, marking their transition to adulthood. For First Holy Communion, boys wear white shirts to match the girls' white dresses, symbolizing innocence.

Ironing is Key

Yes, a white shirt under a black suit is perfectly acceptable and very common for funerals in Slovakia.
The plural is 'biele košele'. For example: 'Mám dve biele košele.'
'Košeľa' has buttons and a collar (formal). 'Tričko' is a T-shirt (casual).
In modern Slovak business (business casual), yes. But for weddings or very formal events, a tie or bowtie is usually expected.
You can say: 'Prosím si jednu bielu košeľu, veľkosť 42.'
Because 'košeľa' is feminine and it is the direct object of the sentence (Accusative case).

Most are made of 'bavlna' (cotton). Linen ('ľan') is also popular in summer but is considered less formal because it wrinkles easily.
