        belonging to or concerning an individual person, company, or interest

        My car “belongs to […] an individual person”, doesn’t it?

          A car can not only belong to one person, but it can be operated by one person.

          A key distinction I’ve heard is: whether a property has to be collectively operated or can it be individually operated?
