When talking to a sibling, I would never say "our mother" in this context. I'd say "Is mum going..." ("mum" is the Australian equivalent of "mom").

There is already a correct version there (indirect translation). "Is mother going..."

@patgfisher, Thanks for the comment. I'm new, so please forgive if I don't quite understand how this works yet. Does Tatoeba use this data elsewhere translating other sentences? I thought that's how it worked. If so, it is imperative that the language algorithm comes to understand that "hʋshki" means "our mother," "sʋshki" means "my mother," "chishki" means "your mother," "ishki" means generic "mother", et. al.

Annotation:

"Hʋshki" literally means "our mother," not "my mother."

Such an annotation should go on the Choctaw page.
