Definite articles are not used when referring to a single family member, e.g. mio fratello, mia zia, etc. However, it is necessary to use an article when referring to more than one family member, e.g. le mie sorelle, i miei fratelli, etc.
I typed only 1 letter and it said my answer was wrong. I did not get to finish my answer.
I typed "vedo mio tio" and it marked it correct. I didn't even know he said "zio" until I clicked here.
If you mean aunt's husband, then yes. An aunt's wife would also be an aunt. :)

That's funny. I heard "Vedo mio tio". After replaying a couple times it still sounded like "tio". This was the man's voice they added recently.

Crazy, huh? Was it the man's voice? I have more difficulty in understanding words when they use his voice.
I actually typed tio instead of zio and it was accepted (and not because it thought I had a "typo in my answer." I, too, have trouble understanding the male speaker. Plus, he speaks very fast and I usually have to click on the slow-down option with him.

I could swear the female speaker said, "vivedo." After listening to it several times, I typed that, knowing it was most likely to be wrong. I'm making nothing mistakes on my own. I don't need help from Duolingo.
