With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | ayım my month | aylarım my months |
| your | ayıng your month | aylarıng your months |
| his / her | ayı his / her month | ayları his / her months |
| our | ayıbız our month | aylarıbız our months |
| you all's | ayığız you all's month | aylarığız you all's months |
| their | ayları their month | ayları their months |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: ayları can mean "his / her months", "their month", or "their months" — context decides.
