| Let's practice. |
| Imagine you're Mark's colleague, Edward Estis. |
| You have a wife and a daughter. |
| Respond to Mark’s question referring to the photo. |
| Don’t forget to include the word for 'yes' at the beginning of your response. |
| Ready? |
| Это твоя семья? (Eto tvoya sem'ya?) |
| Да. Это моя семья. Моя жена, моя дочь и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moya zhena, moya doch' i ya.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Да. Это моя семья. Моя жена, моя дочь и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moya zhena, moya doch' i ya.) |
| Да. Это моя семья. Моя жена, моя дочь и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moya zhena, moya doch' i ya.) |
| Let's try another. |
| Imagine you're Mark's boss Alevtina Alekseeva. |
| You have a husband, daughter and son. |
| Ready? |
| Это Ваша семья? (Eto Vasha sem'ya?) |
| Да. Это моя семья. Мой муж, моя дочь, мой сын и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moy muzh, moya doch', moy syn i ya.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |

| Да. Это моя семья. Мой муж, моя дочь, мой сын и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moy muzh, moya doch', moy syn i ya.) |
| Let’s try one more. |
| Imagine you're Mark's friend Svetlana Sushko. |
| You have a husband and a son. |
| Ready? |
| Это твоя семья? (Eto tvoya sem'ya?) |
| Да. Это моя семья. Мой муж, мой сын и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moy muzh, moy syn i ya.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| Да. Это моя семья. Мой муж, мой сын и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moy muzh, moy syn i ya.) |
| Да. Это моя семья. Мой муж, мой сын и я. (Da. Eto moya sem'ya. Moy muzh, moy syn i ya.) |
| Did you notice how Mark uses твоя (tvoya) when asking about his friend’s and colleague’s families? |
| Это твоя семья? (Eto tvoya sem'ya?) |
| "Is this your family?" |
| In less formal situations, like speaking with a friend or close colleague, the less formal, твоя, is more appropriate. |
| Твоя (tvoya), “your.” Твоя (enuciated). Твоя. |
| Note: Твоя (Tvoya) is feminine and singular to agree with семья (sem'ya). |
| This is the end of this lesson. |
