Das ist meine Familie. Meine Eltern, meine Schwester und ich.
Did you notice how I replaced mein Vater and meine Mutter with meine Eltern?
Das sind meine Eltern und ich.
"My parents, my sister and me."
The phrase, meine Eltern, "my parents." meine Eltern.
Let’s start with Eltern. "Parents." Eltern. Eltern.
Eltern is plural — a fact which will determine the form of other words in the sentence.
In German all plural nouns behave the same way whether they’re masculine, feminine or neuter.
Note: at this point in your language journey, it might be helpful to remember that the feminine singular definite article is usually the same as the plural definite article.
Before this is meine, meaning "my." meine.
Meine. "My." Meine. Meine.
Meine is feminine and plural to agree with Eltern.
Das ist meine Familie. Meine Eltern, meine Schwester und ich.
"This is my family. My parents, my sister, and me."
You should be aware of the plural form, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
