I was told - by an Albanian, that there is no word in the language for "privacy". Thought that was interesting. Does anyone know if this is true?

just looked it up and there's at least 4 words for it

privatësi

fshehtësi

vetmi

intimitet

Not sure if any of these are actually good translations of the english word for privacy though

It looks like the word intimitet is their noun word for privacy. However I feel like what the Albanian might mean is that their concept of privacy is different to that of the West. However considering they follow the EU standard of GDPR, I would say that it is likely similar.
