Saying it about mine, yours, theirs
One thing
| Degree | menikimine | senikiyours | anıqıhis / hers | biznikiours | siznikiyours (pl.) | alanıqıtheirs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| base form | meniki başhadımine is different | seniki başhadıyours is different | anıqı başhadıhis is different | bizniki başhadıours is different | sizniki başhadıyours (pl.) is different | alanıqı başhadıtheirs is different |
Several things

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