"These are my mice."

Translation: Это мои мыши.

Why is it это and not эти?

[JanisaChatte]

Because in this context, "это" is "these are". If you say "эти мыши", it would be "these mice". For more info on where to use which form, check out the guide to using это.

It still doesn't make sense. When you say These are my mice in English you're essentially saying "These [things] are my mice", not "This [things] are my mice". I guess in Russian This just doesn't conjugate in this situation, making it even more confusing.

What is the difference between мышей and мыши?

[DustinGaud1]

I thought this one said "this is my mouse" and when I used an online translator it also said "This is my mouse." Can someone please explain this?

[ScarsUnseen]

Why would мыши be wrong?? It's telling me to write instead мышки.
