When to use each case

nominative: the plain dictionary form — the doer of the sentence
genitive: the owner — whose it is
accusative: a specific, known object — whom or what
dative: direction or recipient — to where, to whom
locative: where it is; also having — mende bar, "I have it"
ablative: where it comes from; also "than" when comparing

The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.

With an owner

	One owned	Several owned
my	halımmy situation	hallarımmy situations
your	halıngyour situation	hallarıngyour situations
his / her	halıhis / her situation	hallarıhis / her situations
our	halıbızour situation	hallarıbızour situations
you all's	halığızyou all's situation	hallarığızyou all's situations
their	hallarıtheir situation	hallarıtheir situations

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