Saying it about mine, yours, theirs
One thing

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| base form | meniki birewnüküdümine is someone else's | seniki birewnüküdüyours is someone else's | anıqı birewnüküdühis is someone else's | bizniki birewnüküdüours is someone else's | sizniki birewnüküdüyours (pl.) is someone else's | alanıqı birewnüküdütheirs is someone else's |
Several things
| Degree | menikilemine | senikileyours | anıqılahis / hers | biznikileours | siznikileyours (pl.) | alanıqılatheirs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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