他家 (tā jiā) — someone else's home; somebody else's place
Definition
他家 literally means 'his/their home' but in conversation it almost always refers to someone else's home — the family being talked about, not yours. In context, example 3 shows it can even mean 'their family' (their yard) rather than a place.
