"my brother and my sister"

Translation: мой брат и моя сестра

[yimantuwingyai]

So moi/moya is possessive but based on gender of the noun?
moi = masculine
moya = feminine

[JanisaChatte]

Yes. If the noun is is feminine, you should use "моя" even if the person speaking is a male, "мой" for masculine nouns, "моё" for neuter nouns and "мои" for plurals.

[PritchNK]

How do you know what is masculine and what is feminine?

https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ru/Genitive-Case---1/tips-and-notes It's in the note section here. Probably in bits and pieces in other note sections. I'm sure we'll work it our on our own though.

[yimantuwingyai]

Got it! Thanks.

[SunBro136]

Instead of taking life points for first-time mistakes, you could have a grammar section to explain the gender differences between мой and моя. It's ridiculous how this app behaves sometimes.

[Bengali_Polyglot]

You are correct

[Ethana-W]

You need to add the articles to Мой, моя, моё, and мои

In previews lessons we used "a" as "and" in russian so why is this "мой брат а моя сестра" wrong?whats the difference between а and и ?

[Kundoo]

"А" is used when in English "and" can be substituted with "whereas". Otherwise "and" is "и".

[nathan_lecates]

You use "а" when you are disproving your possesion of something. Example: "Это мой деде а не папа." English: "This is my uncle and not my father." You use "и" in everything else. Example: " Это мой брат и сестра." English: "This is my brother and sister."

Why can't I say "мой брат и сестра"

[deactivated user]

Because мой only stands for a masculine object. You can say A и B, but then мои should be used as in that case the object is plural.

[Anthony-Elliott]

is мой masculine, моя feminine, and моё neutral?

What's the difference between и and ини?

[Adrian53542]

ини? I can't find that word anywhere. Maybe you meant 'или' which means 'or'.

And 'и' means 'and'.

[iamStevenDuke]

И = and, или = or

It should be "моя сестра". "Мои" is the plural form.
