Khaharam-e means it's my sister. It is khahar (sister), -am (my) and -e (is). The usual setting is a question about a photo: when someone asks Khaharet-e? (is she your sister?), the answer is Baleh, khaharam-e. You also hear it as a correction, in Na! Khaharam-e. It is taught in Module 4, lesson 7, in the lesson called Is that your sister? The same shape works for Baradaram-e (it's my brother), and the pair with the your-form Khaharet-e is the heart of the lesson.
