With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |

| your | postungyour post | postlarıngyour posts |
| his / her | postuhis / her post | postlarıhis / her posts |

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