With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | şağıreyim my acquaintance | şağıreylerim my acquaintances |

| his / her | şağıreyi his / her acquaintance | şağıreyleri his / her acquaintances |

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