"مسجد نزدیک خانهی ماست" (Masjed nazdik-e khāne-ye māst) uses نزدیک ("near") with an ezafe -e before خانه, and then خانهی ما combines with است into the contracted ماست ("is ours," from mā + ast) — a common colloquial contraction that fuses the possessor and the verb "is" into one word.
Where English speakers slip
English speakers sometimes soften the final د into a "t" sound out of habit, saying something like "masjet." Keep that last consonant fully voiced, and place the stress clearly on the second syllable rather than the first.
