To compare two things, put the loser in the from-form: ol menden çabıwçudu — "compared to me, he is racing."
Saying it about mine, yours, theirs

Any thing takes the third-person ending, not only these: bu çabıwçudu, bıla çabıwçudula. In texts biznikile is usually kesibiznikile, "our own people", and a surname with -nıqıla names a family: Dudalanıqıla, "the Dudas".
