Usage notes
- Use privilegio for a special advantage or honor; prefer diritto for something someone is legally or morally entitled to.
- Often used with avere: avere il privilegio di + infinitive means “to have the privilege of doing.”
- In everyday speech, lusso may fit better when you mean an expensive comfort, not a social or legal advantage.
