As an adjective
Saying it about mine, yours, theirs
One thing
| Degree | menikimine | senikiyours | anıqıhis / hers | biznikiours | siznikiyours (pl.) | alanıqıtheirs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| base form | meniki küzgüdümine is autumnal | seniki küzgüdüyours is autumnal | anıqı küzgüdühis is autumnal | bizniki küzgüdüours is autumnal | sizniki küzgüdüyours (pl.) is autumnal | alanıqı küzgüdütheirs is autumnal |
Several things
| Degree | menikilemine | senikileyours | anıqılahis / hers | biznikileours | siznikileyours (pl.) | alanıqılatheirs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| base form | menikile küzgüdülemine are autumnal | senikile küzgüdüleyours are autumnal | anıqıla küzgüdülehis are autumnal | biznikile küzgüdüleours are autumnal | siznikile küzgüdüleyours (pl.) are autumnal | alanıqıla küzgüdületheirs are autumnal |
Any thing takes the third-person ending, not only these: bu küzgüdü, bıla küzgüdüle. In texts biznikile is usually kesibiznikile, "our own people", and a surname with -nıqıla names a family: Dudalanıqıla, "the Dudas".
