La cosecha incluye plantas aromáticas.

La cosecha most commonly means the harvest, especially in the sense of what has been gathered or the harvest output.

Depending on context, it can sometimes feel close to crop, but in this sentence the harvest includes aromatic plants is the most direct reading.

A quick distinction:

• la cosecha = the harvest / harvested produce
• el cultivo = the crop / cultivation / growing of plants

So here, la cosecha refers to what has been harvested.

Spanish often uses the definite article where English might not.

So la cosecha means the harvest. In a full sentence, Spanish usually prefers the article when talking about a specific thing or a general category being treated as a known item.

Compare:

• La cosecha incluye plantas aromáticas. = The harvest includes aromatic plants.

Leaving out the article here would sound incomplete or unnatural in normal Spanish.

Incluye is the third-person singular present form of the verb incluir = to include.

It matches the subject la cosecha, which is singular.

Conjugation:

• yo incluyo
• tú incluyes
• él/ella/usted incluye
• nosotros incluimos
• vosotros incluís
• ellos/ellas/ustedes incluyen

So:

• La cosecha incluye... = The harvest includes...

Because it means plants, plural.

The sentence is talking about aromatic plants as a category or group included in the harvest.

Singular and plural:

• planta = plant
• plantas = plants

So:

• incluye planta aromática would sound odd here unless you meant one specific aromatic plant
• incluye plantas aromáticas correctly means it includes aromatic plants in general

Because aromáticas has to agree with plantas.

In Spanish, adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they describe:

• planta is feminine singular
• plantas is feminine plural

So the adjective must also be feminine plural:

• aromática = aromatic, feminine singular
• aromáticas = aromatic, feminine plural

Examples:

• planta aromática = aromatic plant
• plantas aromáticas = aromatic plants

In Spanish, adjectives often come after the noun, especially when they are simply describing a quality in a neutral, straightforward way.

So:

• plantas aromáticas = aromatic plants

This is the normal order in Spanish. English usually puts the adjective first, but Spanish often places it after the noun.

Yes, it is very close in meaning to English aromatic.

Aromático / aromática means something like:

• aromatic
• fragrant
• with a noticeable smell, often pleasant or useful in cooking or herbal use

In the phrase plantas aromáticas, it often refers to herbs or plants valued for their scent or flavour, such as:

• mint
• rosemary
• thyme
• lavender

So it is a very natural phrase in Spanish.

In standard Spain Spanish, cosecha is pronounced approximately:

ko-SE-cha

More specifically:

• co = like co in cocoa, but shorter
• se = seh
• cha = cha

IPA (Spain): /koˈsetʃa/

The stress is on se:

• co-SE-cha

In Spain Spanish, incluye is pronounced approximately:

in-KLU-ye

IPA: /iŋˈkluʝe/ or /iŋˈkljuʝe/ depending on the speaker

A simple learner-friendly breakdown:

• in = een / in
• clu = KLOO
• ye = roughly yeh

The stress is on clu:

• in-CLU-ye

The accent mark shows where the stress falls.

Without getting too technical, aromáticas is stressed on the syllable má:

• a-ro-MÁ-ti-cas

Spanish spelling rules say that a word of this shape would not normally be stressed there unless it has a written accent, so the accent mark is necessary.

This also helps distinguish the correct pronunciation:

• aromáticas = stress on má

Yes, you could. Contiene means contains, and it works grammatically.

However, there is a slight difference in feel:

• incluye = includes, suggests aromatic plants are one part of a larger set
• contiene = contains, focuses more on what is inside or part of it

In this sentence, incluye sounds very natural if you are listing elements of the harvest.

Most naturally, la cosecha suggests a specific harvest or a harvest being discussed in context.

But Spanish can also use the definite article in broader, more general statements. So depending on context, it might mean:

• this/the harvest includes aromatic plants or
• the harvest includes aromatic plants as a general statement about what is harvested

Context would decide which is intended.

Sometimes, yes, depending on context.

Literally, plantas aromáticas means aromatic plants. In practice, many of these are herbs used in cooking, medicine, or fragrance.

But it is a broader phrase than just herbs. Not every aromatic plant would necessarily be called an herb in English.

So:

• literal translation: aromatic plants
• possible practical meaning in some contexts: herbs

A few small things:

1. Article use Spanish uses la where English might sometimes be less direct.

2. Adjective agreement aromáticas must match plantas in gender and number.

3. Adjective position Spanish normally says plantas aromáticas, not aromáticas plantas.

4. Verb conjugation incluye matches the singular subject la cosecha.

5. Meaning of cosecha It usually means harvest, not necessarily crop in every context.

So although the sentence is short, it shows several very typical Spanish patterns.
