English Translation

I didn’t even know your name.

What’s the difference between “siquiera” and “incluso”?

#5

Incluso = even, ni siquiera = not even.

Even you know it = Incluso tú lo sabes.
Not even I know it = Ni siquiera yo lo sé.

These sentences are both wrong: *Incluso tú no lo sabes. *Siquiera yo lo sé.
