"This is-a-house of me" will sound extremely strange in Russian so "мой"

(I can't give the literal Russian equivalent because I don't know
how to make a verb out of the noun "дом".)
Me neither.
I don't either, and my Russian is even rustier than my Lojban (and I was
never better than "semi-fluent in 6-year-old Russian" when I could talk
clumsily to my newly adopted kids 20 years ago), but I seem to recall
that there is an adjective form for most nouns, and IIRC you can turn an
adjective into a verb in a couple of ways.
Also, while zdani is translated into English easiest as a noun or
perhaps a verb, but there is an adjective version as well (though very
hard to render in English). This is a housish thing of mine, perhaps.
Or perhaps the gerund version (which may have a Russian equivalent) This
is housing for me.
