もん - meaning and when to use


What does もん mean in a sentence like the one below:

> うちの **もん** が卒業{そつぎょう}しまして

It is used like "myself" in English, to reinforce "I"? So, sort of like "I
myself" graduated? And when is it used?




もん is a casual way of saying もの(者、物). This もん is 者. うちのもん means "a person who
belongs to the speaker's own family" or "a person who is close to the
speaker".
