Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'incluso', 'hasta', and 'aun'?
They can often all mean 'even' and are sometimes interchangeable. 'Incluso' is the most common and neutral. 'Hasta' also means 'even' and can add a sense of reaching a limit ('Hasta un niño lo entiende' - Even a child understands it). 'Aun' (with no accent) is a bit more formal but means the same thing. Be careful not to confuse it with 'aún' (with an accent), which means 'still' or 'yet'.
