Usually we would say "This my husband and me" :) - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2013
we would say: in advance - FELIZ77, Jun 24, 2013
Ian , the 'Queen' usually says my husband and I lol :) but then she is speaking on behalf of him rather than describing who they are. Surely it would be This IS my husband and me? - FELIZ77, Jun 24, 2013
I think it should Feliz but the Queen is speaking the Queen's English. But - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2013
My husband and I are going to Ascot today. - ian-hill, Jun 24, 2013
This is Person-X and ¨I¨ (never, properly anyway, and ¨me¨) - rogspax, Jun 25, 2013

Soy hija única. Mi papá trabaja en el hospital. ..... would you like to try the last bit?

Doh, given that she said ¨and my husband¨ I should have been able to narrow my suggestion down to hija única. - rogspax, Jun 25, 2013

Cool. I´ve been trying to find a good phrase for ¨thanks in advance¨ for a long time, and very recently learned antemano, but hadn´t put 2 and 2 together yet. - rogspax, Jun 25, 2013

Soy hijo único or hija única.
The site´s translator should work fine for something simple like the second sentence.
I´m not sure about the 3rd, but maybe: Esto es mi marido y yo

este ;) (esto is the neuter demonstrative pronoun) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 24, 2013
Of course. I find myself in no-mans´s land now. Good enough to know I´m probably wrong, but not good enough to be right. I was trying to use the neutral, since it was neutral to the two genders being introduced, but that is itself an English mindset. - rogspax, Jun 25, 2013
