Çfarë ishte Bashkimi Sovjetik?

English Translation

What was the Soviet Union?

ChatGPT’s explanation says:
“Bashkimi” translates to “Union” and is a noun. In Albanian, the definite form of the noun is often used where English would use the indefinite form; hence “Bashkimi” rather than “Bashkim” alone.

But in English it is “the Soviet Union” so what does this mean? That sounds definite to me!
