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."
Par exemple…
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. |
Note that compris (the past participle of comprendre) acts an adjective here and must therefore agree with the noun it modifies.
Synonym: inclus (past participle of inclure)
