Ово је моја мајка.

This is my mother.

The wider circle

бака (grandma), деда (grandpa), син (son), ћерка (daughter), дете (child). The whole crew: породица.

Моја породица је велика.

My family is big.

Whose? — мој, моја, моје

Match the gender you learned: мој брат, моја сестра, моје дете. Same pattern for твој (your).

Твој брат и моја сестра

Your brother and my sister

I have…

«Имам» introduces your people: Имам брата и сестру. (Watch the endings shift — that's the accusative at work; more soon.)

Имам брата и сестру.

I have a brother and a sister.
