through person-specific suffixing. As with the plural suffix, possession suffixes harmonize with the preceding vowel in regular ways. {| class="wikitable" |- ! || Singular || Plural |- ! 1st Person | -(I)m || -(I)mIz |- ! 2nd Person | -(I)ñ || -(I)ñIz |- ! 3rd Person | -s(I) || -(lar)-(s)I |} Case Crimean Tatar has six grammatical cases. The nominative case is unmarked, and the remaining cases are expressed through suffixing. These suffixes come last in a fully declined noun. {| class="wikitable" |- ! || Suffix || Example with bala (“child”) |- !Nominative | Ø||bala (“the child” [subject]) |- !Accusative | -nY||balanı (“the child” [direct object]) |- !Genitive | -nYñ||balanıñ (“of the child”) |- !Dative | -KA||balağa (“to the child”) |- !Locative | -DA||balada (“at the child”) |- !Ablative | -Dan||baladan (“away from the child”) |} Pronouns Like nouns, pronouns are inflected for number, person and case but not for gender. {| class="wikitable" |- ! rowspan="2" | ! colspan="3" | Singular ! colspan="3" | Plural |- ! 1st || 2nd || 3rd ! 1st || 2nd || 3rd |- ! Nominative | men || sen || o || biz || siz || olar |- ! Accusative | meni || seni || onı || bizni || sizni || olarnı |- ! Genitive | menim || seniñ || onıñ || bizim || sizniñ || olarnıñ |- !

Ablative | menden || senden || ondan || bizden || sizden || olardan |} The second person plural pronoun can be used to denote formality or respect, even if its referent is a single person. There are two roots, öz- and kendi-, that express reflexivity. Of the two, kendi- is more common in the southern dialect, but both are used throughout the entire area in which Crimean Tatar is spoken. Possessive pronouns are formed by adding the suffix -ki to the genitive form of a personal pronoun, as in: {| class="wikitable" |- ! || Singular || Plural |- ! 1st Person | menimki||bizimki |- ! 2nd Person | seniñki||sizniñki |- ! 3rd Person | onıñki||olarnıñki |} Adjectives Adjectives in Crimean Tatar precede the nouns they modify. They do not show agreement, and as such do not take any of the case, person or possession suffixes.
