There are a few ways to say "this is my family" in Māori, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* Koinei tōku whānau. (This is my family.) - This is the most direct translation and is suitable for formal situations.

* Koinei te whānau nōku. (This is the family belonging to me.) - This emphasizes ownership and is also suitable for formal situations.

Informal:

* Koinei taku whānau. (This is my family.) - This is a more casual way of saying it, similar to the formal "Koinei tōku whānau."

* Koinei ahau me tōku whānau. (This is me and my family.) - This emphasizes the speaker's inclusion in the family.

Other Options:

* Koinei ngā tāngata o tōku whānau. (These are the people of my family.) - This emphasizes the individuals within the family.

* Koinei te whānau e aroha ana ahau. (This is the family I love.) - This emphasizes the love and affection the speaker has for their family.
