How do you say AJENO in English?

"I'm not an AJENO! I'm an ALIEN and you are what I eat!" This one of those words that have no equivalent in English. AJENO essentially means NOT YOURS. Words that are close in meaning, though not exactly the same, are: PRIVATE, UNKNOWN and ALIEN.  "Esto es un asunto AJENO"  would be "This is PRIVATE business." "Esto es AJENO  a mi conocimiento" would be "This is UNKNOWN to me." "Tales costumbres son completamente AJENAS a nuestra cultura" would be "Such customs are completely ALIEN to our culture."
