With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | angılamımmy concept | angılamlarımmy concepts |
| your | angılamıngyour concept | angılamlarıngyour concepts |
| his / her | angılamıhis / her concept | angılamlarıhis / her concepts |

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: angılamları can mean "his / her concepts", "their concept", or "their concepts" — context decides.
