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	misalımmy example	misallarımmy examples
your	misalıngyour example	misallarıngyour examples
his / her	misalıhis / her example	misallarıhis / her examples
our	misalıbızour example	misallarıbızour examples
you all's	misalığızyou all's example	misallarığızyou all's examples
their	misallarıtheir example	misallarıtheir examples

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