- "उसका केला छोटा है।"

I think we have the same word in Turkish, but different meaning. "Sahi mi?" = Really? Is it for real?
I know. As a foreigner deeply interested in learning the language in a proper way I cannot imagine myself speaking like that. Still, funny
Yes, "her" is also correct. To save the poor guy from embarrassment, Duolingo has "her banana" as the correct answer. उसका केला - "his/her banana", both are acceptable.
I assume it's how Kids These Days™ show that they're "with it" and "hep cats."
Please tell me the difference between uska, uski, uske clearly, as i think uska is his, uski is her, uske is plural form their...
The choice between Uska/Uski/Uske is made depending on the gender of the thing being possessed, not the gender of the possessor. They can all mean either 'his', 'her' or 'its'.
You use uska if the word following it is masculine singular, uski if it is feminine (singular or plural) and uske if it is masciline or mixed-gender plural.
Eg:
नेहा खुशकिस्मत है। उसकी माँ और उसका भाई उसके दोस्त जैसे हैं । - Neha is lucky. Her mother and her brother are like her friends (उसका because भाई is masculine singular, उसकी because माँ is feminine and उसके because दोस्त is plural here)
The sentence remains the same if we change नेहा to राज
राज खुशकिस्मत है। उसकी माँ और उसका भाई उसके दोस्त जैसे हैं । - Raj is lucky. His mother and his brother are like his friends
For the plural their, you use उनका/उनकी/उनके.
Eg: राज और नेहा खुशकिस्मत हैं। उनकी माँ और उनका भाई उनके दोस्त जैसे हैं । - Raj and Neha are lucky. Their mother and their brother are like their friends.
'केला' पुल्लिंग (masculine) संज्ञा है और उसके साथ हमेशा 'छोटा' ही जाएगा, 'छोटी' नहीं।
