With an owner
| One owned | Several owned | |
|---|---|---|
| my | üyüm my house | üylerim my houses |
| your | üyüng your house | üylering your houses |
| his / her | üyü his / her house | üyleri his / her houses |
| our | üyübüz our house | üyleribiz our houses |
| you all's | üyügüz you all's house | üylerigiz you all's houses |
| their | üyleri their house | üyleri their houses |
The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: üyleri can mean "his / her houses", "their house", or "their houses" — context decides.
