With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | predmetimmy subject | predmetlerimmy subjects |
| your | predmetingyour subject | predmetleringyour subjects |
| his / her | predmetihis / her subject | predmetlerihis / her subjects |

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