Essential French Expression
| Meaning | including, included | |
| Literally | there included | |
| Register | normal | |
| Pronunciation |  | [ee ko(n) pree] |
| IPA | [i kɔ̃ pri] | |
Usage notes: The adverbial French expression y compris is the most idiomatic way to say "including":
Par exemple…
| Ça coûte 25 € y compris les frais de livraison. | It costs €25 including shipping. | |
| J’ai tout nettoyé, y compris les fenêtres. | I cleaned everything, including the windows. |
Synomym: incluant (present participle of inclure – to include)
Y compris can also mean "included" – note that compris (the past participle of comprendre) acts an adjective here and must therefore agree with the noun it modifies.
| Ça coûte 25 €, les frais de livraison y compris. | It costs €25, shipping included. | |
| J’ai tout nettoyé, les fenêtres y comprises. | I cleaned everything, windows included. |
Synonym: inclus (past participle of inclure)
