If I were to say "my siblings" in German, would I say "meine Geschwister" or "mein Geschwister"?

Answer:

meine Geschwister

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "siblings" is a plural noun, so you need to use "meine", which is the plural form of "mein".

"mein Geschwister" means "my sibling". "Das Geschwister" is the German word for sibling.

e.g. das ältere Geschwister - the older sibling
