Answer 1

Hi, welcome to SpanishDict!

Because people are here to learn both English and Spanish, please be careful to use correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when posting a question. This will help people learning English.

You are correct, you say "Este es" for a masculine thing and "Esta es" for a feminine thing.

Esta es mi madre. This is my mother.

Este es mi padre. This is my father.

Use the dictionary (link at top of page) to look up brother, niece, and cousin. If you still have questions come back and post a followup question in this thread (with proper capitalization )

Again, welcome.

Answer 2

Hi luciente, no, no accent needed. They are pronouns, but the accent is no more needed.

When would they need accents? How do I know whethe or not to accent them? - Luciente, FEB 14, 2010

Answer 3

Another option?

Aquí está mi madre/padre/hermano/hermana etc, etc.

Answer 4

Esta es mi madre. This is my mother. Este es mi padre. This is my father.

Do those need accents since they are being used as pronouns, or not?

"Ésta es mi madre. / Éste es mi padre."
