The original sentence 'I'm my uncle' is a bit confusing, but if you want to use a similar construction to explain your family relationship, 'Sono lo zio di Tom' is a good way to say 'I'm Tom's uncle.' This implies that Tom is your nephew or niece."}, {"role": "user", "content": "This is the correct translation 'Sono lo zio di Tom.'"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly!
