Chinese people always say "Women jia" when they're talking about their family. (and their home)
Generally speaking Chinese people only say 家 to mean family if they are saying "我家有四口人" "my family has four people" as a sort of measure word for family.
it means his home is in India, it doesn't mean his family. The pronunciation is wrong but its not family
It's literally "my home is India"
Could anyone explain when the 里 which indicates the "in" is written/used and when you can omit it but the meaning of in/at is still the same?
TIA
Why isn't "My home is India" correct. I suppose that would be 是? Is that expression used in China?
I typed "My home is in India" with no period and it was wrong. Punctuation counts all of the sudden?

Kimrothmony, if you mean India, no we don't say "The India" . We do use "The" for just a few countries such as "the Netherlands" the US" & "the UK" but for most it would be wrong to use "the".
Is there another word for Indian? The sound made here suggests the word hindu is used to describe Indians, but they have more sub cultures than just hindu..
