Questions & Answers about El lloguer inclou la calefacció, l'aire condicionat i els subministraments.

Why is it El lloguer and not just lloguer?

In Catalan, it is very common to use the definite article with nouns where English might not. So el lloguer literally means the rent, but in English we often just say rent.

Here it refers to the specific rent for a particular place, so El lloguer inclou... is the natural way to say it.

What verb is inclou?

Inclou comes from the verb incloure, which means to include.

In this sentence, inclou is:

• present tense
• third person singular

So it means includes.

A quick breakdown:

• jo incloc = I include
• tu inclous = you include
• ell/ella inclou = he/she/it includes

Here, the subject is el lloguer, so the verb is singular: inclou.

Why is it l'aire instead of el aire?

Because aire begins with a vowel sound, the article el is shortened to l' before it.

So:

• el aire → l'aire

This is called apostrophation, and it is very common in Catalan.
