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

As an adjective

Saying it about someone

Saying it about someone — kiriş
Degree	menI	senyou	olhe/she/it	bizwe	sizyou all	alathey
base form	kirişmeI am solid	kirişseyou are solid	kirişdihe is solid	kirişbizwe are solid	kirişsizyou all are solid	kirişdilethey are solid

To compare two things, put the loser in the from-form: ol menden kirişdi — "compared to me, he is solid."

Saying it about mine, yours, theirs

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