With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | figurammy figure | figuralarımmy figures |
| your | figurangyour figure | figuralarıngyour figures |
| his / her | figurasıhis / her figure | figuralarıhis / her figures |

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