Salvēte, sodālēs.
Today’s lesson introduces a new character, Cornēlius, and two new word - meus and tuus. These words are adjectives, so like all adjectives you will see their endings change to match the nouns they are describing : servus meus, servus tuus, servī meī, ancilla tua, ancilla mea, ancillae meae, familia mea, familiā meā, servōrum meōrum and servōrum tuōrum.
from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, page 15
As often, the text encourages you to determine the meanings of meus and tuus by reading the text and seeing them in context. If you forget the meaning of cuius you can refresh your memory by revisiting Lesson Twenty Three, or by rereading line 35 of Capitulum Secundum. As a side-note, I personally enjoy the use of Quid? here to express disbelief. What?
Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta : Capitulum Secundum : lines 62-79. To be fair to the publisher, after Capitulum Secundum extracts will not be given - you will need a copy of the textbook of your own.

meus : my
tuus : your
You’ve now completed the introduction to the family. Bene factum! Well done! When we return, we will read - in Latin - a little about the Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta textbook.
Satis est. See you shortly.
