einschließen vs enthalten

to contain / abstain

Both words can express that something is part of a whole. „Enthalten“ primarily refers to the content that is already present, while „einschließen“ emphasizes the scope or the inclusion in a whole more strongly. Use „enthalten“ for a neutral description of the contents and „einschließen“ when the idea of belonging is explicitly implied.
