Family

Ma famille !
In English we say my mother and my father. In French you’d say mon père and ma
mère, because words like my and your change based on the gender of the word after
them!

masculine feminine

mon père ma mère

ton frère ta sœur

your brother your sister

son fils sa fille

his / her son his / her daughter

Fille and femme

Fille can mean either girl or daughter. Femme can mean woman or wife. Just pay
attention to the context to figure out which one someone means!
