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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| base form | meniki afrikandımine is African | seniki afrikandıyours is African | anıqı afrikandıhis is African | bizniki afrikandıours is African | sizniki afrikandıyours (pl.) is African | alanıqı afrikandıtheirs is African |
Several things
| Degree | menikilemine | senikileyours | anıqılahis / hers | biznikileours | siznikileyours (pl.) | alanıqılatheirs |

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