Questions & Answers about Incluso me gustan los monasterios cuyos pisos son de mármol.
Why is the word cuyos used here, and what does it match with?
What if the sentence was "the monasteries whose door is marble"? How would cuyos change?
It would change to cuya to match the feminine singular noun puerta (door). The sentence would be: ...los monasterios cuya puerta es de mármol. Remember, the possessor (monasterios) doesn't affect the form of cuyo.
Why do we say son de mármol instead of just son mármol?
In English, we often use materials like "marble" directly as adjectives. In Spanish, to describe what something is made of, you must use ser + de + [material].
Could I use hasta instead of incluso at the start of this sentence?
Yes! Both incluso and hasta can translate to "even" in this context. Hasta is slightly more informal and very common in everyday spoken Spanish, while incluso sounds a bit more formal but is completely natural here.
