Ke nevojë të shkosh në banjë?/Do të shkosh në banjë?
Explanation:
Ke nevojë të shkosh në banjë? - Do you need to go to the bathroom?

Do të shkosh në banjë? - Do you want to go to the bathroom/Will you go to the bathroom?

Hello,
If you do not have any knowledge of the written and spoken Albanian language, it would be best to write it down and show it to your patient, since the pronunciation could be an issue.

Hopefully your patient is not illiterate (this is very rare, but it might happen if the patient is older). If the patient is illiterate, just say: "banja" (similar to the Spanish pronunciation of this word) and the patient will know what you are saying.
Good luck,
Monika
