What is "FU" mean?
I found it in any marketplace forum, like "iphone 3Gs FU"
And then, what is "e.g." and "i.e." stand for? 
"i guess destiny is not the path given to us..
but the path we choose for ourselves.."

Ie and eg both mean ´for example´ its just a short easy way of writing it
Btw its ´what does´ not ´what is´ when asking for meaning not substance

I have 2 people, 1 girl and 1 boy... (My brother and sister)
If i want to tell to someone about 1 girl and that boy at once, what should i say?
E.g. "i love them as my.
..?" (my what? My 'brother and sister', 'my brother' that mean -maybe- both of them, or other?)

I'm not sure.
But sibling means brother or sister.

Good Work Guys!
Interesting way to educate English Language Learners 
@VLADISLAUS, Sibling is the right word. e.g. if you have one bro & two sisters, u'd say i've three siblings or we're four siblings (including u).
e.g. = for example
i.e. = that is

@cyber-shoter
I'll try to help
- We use at to show a specific place or position.
For example:
Someone is at the door.
They are waiting at the bus stop.
I used to live at 51 Portland Street.
- We use on to show position on a horizontal or vertical surface.
For example:
The cat sat on the mat.
The satellite dish is on the roof.
We also use on to show position on streets, roads, etc.
For example:
I used to live on Portland Street.
The word on is also used to describe the date that an event occurred on
For example:
We celebrate Tom's birthday on the 7th of September.
-We use in to show that something is enclosed or surrounded.
For example:
The dog is in the garden.
She is in a taxi.
Put it in the box.
We also use in to show position within land-areas (towns, counties, states, countries, and continents).
For example:
I used to live in Nottingham.

If I may just add...
e.g. is short for the latin phrase "exempli gratia" which means "for example".
example: The phone is availabe in wierd colors. (e.g. dark-white, light-black, untravioletish-blue, etc.)
i.e. is short for the latin phrase "id est" which means "that is" or "in other words" used to sum up a previous discussion or phrase.
example: In windows, press the buttons Alt and F4 together, i.e., close the current Application.
