As an adjective
Saying it about someone

To compare two things, put the loser in the from-form: ol menden uppa-uzaqdı — "compared to me, he is far-off."
Saying it about mine, yours, theirs
One thing

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Any thing takes the third-person ending, not only these: bu uppa-uzaqdı, bıla uppa-uzaqdıla. In texts biznikile is usually kesibiznikile, "our own people", and a surname with -nıqıla names a family: Dudalanıqıla, "the Dudas".
