"Де моя мати?"

Translation: Where is my mother?

[Ashu16222]

Why мій is wrong here.Can anyone help?

[Cipher288190]

Not a native speaker but if I understand this correctly, "мій" is masculine, whereas "мати"(mother) is feminine. So, "моя" (feminine) should be used instead of "мій" (masculine). "моє" is used for neuter.

It's true.

[Dianoya]

"Моя мама" (my mom) but "мій тато" (my dad).

[KingOfOryx]

I was wondering if there is a legitimate difference in the ways and places that you use the different words for mother or can they all be used interchangeably?

I answered "Where is my mommy?" and got it right... Is mommy and mother the same to ukrainians?
