Hello. Folks!
As shown in the subject, I have a question regarding the usage of possessive case. Which one of following is a right expression?
1) These are me and my wife's pictures.
2) These are my wife's and my pictures.
I have learned from my English totur that in subjective case "My wife and I" is more natural and common than "Me and my wife". So, in same reason, I think "my wife's and my" should be right, but sounds strange....-_- It's so hard to learn English....sigh.
As always, thank you very much for your help. Also, I welcome any other comments pointing out errors I've made in this writing. I appreciate that!
Hello,
There are numerous previous posts on this very point.
Search for "me" or "I" to find them. This will answer your questions

Welcome to the forum, ivarmada.
You can avoid the problem (and contruct a better sentence, in my estimation) by saying "These are pictures of my wife and me".
PS: It is considered more polite in English to say "My wife and me" rather than "Me and my wife".
"These are pictures of my wife and me" will mean in English that he and his wife appear in the photographs, not that they belong to him and his wife.
To ivarmada, I prefer your first sentence most: "These are me and my wife's pictures." -- it is what I would say in normal speech.

There are indeed some people who use the objective pronoun and say "These are me pictures," instead of the standard English possessive pronoun "These are my pictures."
Such usage is generally ill-advised on job applications, language evaluations, etc.
I would like to note that I would never say "These are me pictures."
My use of "me and my wife's" belies a perception of "me and my wife" a single instance of the idea of two such related people, then, perhaps with abandon, adds 's to the entire noun phrase.

Since when did "these are my pictures" imply that I was also ~in~ them, rather than simply denote that I own them, they belong to me?

What I mean is:
"These are our pictures." = "These pictures are ours."
"These are our pictures." = "These pictures are of us." (certainly not)
I'm in the avoid-the-structure camp.
Assuming we are talking about the pictures belonging to you and your wife:
These pictures belong to my wife and me.
Why not just use the plural form?
If the pictures belong to you and your wife, say "These are our pictures."
If the pictures are of you and your wife, say "These are pictures of us."
The original question is talking about possession.
The pictures belong to my wife and me.
Because of the obvious complications noted above, it would be unusual for a fluent native speaker to use any of the structures that involve 's or a possessive pronoun.
These pictures belong to my wife and me.
This question is somewhat related to Possessive - Peter and Janes marriage?
The problem is that "our" and "us" require an antecedent. It may not suffice to simply say "our" if you are at a large family gathering -- you may need to specify that something belongs to just "me and my wife".
I concede that the question here is not so much whether or not proper formations can be made -- proper formations have been provided -- the question has become whether or not you can maintain the originally posted sentence as closely as possible while marking possession in a proper manner.

I came across this question recently and thought I would answer it here.
This question is actually tricky, as either could potentially be correct, depending on how the phrase is used in the sentence.
I is the nominative first-person pronoun. We use it when referring to the subject of the sentence:
In all three examples, the pronoun refers to the thing in the sentence doing the action (i.e. going, baking, returning). Whenever you refer to yourself as the subject of a sentence—the thing performing the action in the sentence—use I .
Me is the objective first-person pronoun. We use it when referring to an object of the sentence.
In all three examples, the pronoun refers to the thing in the sentence having the action (i.e. sending, loving, pitching) done to it. Whenever you refer to yourself as an object of a sentence—a thing that is having something done to it by something else—use me .
Check out the following sentences to see how to use “my wife and me” or “my wife and I”:
If you’re still second guessing yourself, try removing the other person from sentence. If it doesn’t make sense, then try the other way:
