maybe it is possible to write all words in small letters. It was so hard for me to put Tady on the end!
Chlapci is a masculine animate noun, and it requires moji or mí as the nominative plural possessive. Mé is used with masculine INanimate and feminine nouns in the nominative plural.
I'm not too sure what went wrong with "Moje kluci tady nejsou." Was it the word order? Was it the use of moje (despite the tips noting that Masculine Animate is moje / me)? Was it the use of kluci instead of chlapci? It seems to interchange the two freely.
The problem was moje. Please see my earlier comment in response to Marianne656446.
The Tips & Notes for Possessive Pronouns (see https://duome.eu/tips/en/cs) show the correct forms; it requires quite a bit of scrolling to get there, though. :-)
As I understand, mi is more "formal"; moji is used more often when speaking. (Native AmE)
