With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | şartımmy trait | şartlarımmy traits |
| your | şartıngyour trait | şartlarıngyour traits |
| his / her | şartıhis / her trait | şartlarıhis / her traits |
| our | şartıbızour trait | şartlarıbızour traits |
| you all's | şartığızyou all's trait | şartlarığızyou all's traits |

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