İtiraz süresi sulh ceza hâkimliğinde kontrol edildi.

Because this is a very common Turkish noun-compound pattern:

• itiraz = objection, appeal
• süre = period, time, duration
• süresi = its period / the period of ...

So itiraz süresi means the objection period or the time limit for objection.

In Turkish, when one noun modifies another like this, the second noun usually takes the 3rd person possessive ending:

• ders programı = class schedule
• şehir merkezi = city center
• itiraz süresi = objection period

Even though English does not show possession here, Turkish usually does.

The -si is the 3rd person possessive suffix.

Here is the breakdown:

• süre = period / duration
• süre-si = its period / the period of it

In compounds like itiraz süresi, this suffix does not always feel strongly possessive in English. It is simply part of how Turkish builds many noun combinations.

So you should think of itiraz süresi as a set phrase meaning:

• objection period
• time limit for objection

rather than translating -si too literally every time.

It is a noun phrase in the locative case, meaning in/at the criminal peace judgeship.

A simplified breakdown:

• sulh ceza hâkimliği = criminal peace judgeship / criminal court of peace
• sulh ceza hâkimliği + nde = in/at the criminal peace judgeship

So -de / -da is the locative ending, but because the noun already has a possessive ending, it appears as -nde / -nda here:

• evde = in the house
• odasında = in his/her room
• hâkimliğinde = in/at the judgeship

That n is a buffer consonant used after possessive forms.

Because Turkish often inserts a buffer n between a possessed noun and a case ending.

Here is the structure:

• hâkimlik = judgeship
• hâkimliği = its judgeship / the judgeship
• hâkimliği + nde = in/at the judgeship

So the n is not part of the root; it helps connect the possessive form to the locative ending smoothly.

You will see the same thing in other examples:

• araba-sı = his/her car

• araba-sı-n-da = in his/her car

• oda-sı = his/her room
• oda-sı-n-da = in his/her room

Because Turkish often uses the passive when the doer is unknown, unimportant, or not mentioned.

• kontrol edildi = was checked / was reviewed

The sentence focuses on the fact that the objection period was checked, not on who checked it.

This is very natural in formal or legal Turkish.

Compare:

• Görevli itiraz süresini kontrol etti.
  = The official checked the objection period.

• İtiraz süresi kontrol edildi.
  = The objection period was checked.

The second version sounds more formal and impersonal, which suits legal language.

Because kontrol etmek in Turkish very often means:

• to check
• to examine
• to inspect
• to verify

Even though English control usually means direct/manage, Turkish kontrol etmek often matches English check much better.

So in this sentence, kontrol edildi is best understood as:

• was checked
• was verified
• was reviewed

not usually was controlled.

Because Turkish is normally an SOV language, which means:

• Subject – Object – Verb

Even when there is no explicit subject, the verb usually still comes at the end.

This sentence is structured roughly like this:

• İtiraz süresi = the objection period
• sulh ceza hâkimliğinde = at the criminal peace judgeship
• kontrol edildi = was checked

So the verb naturally comes last.

This is one of the biggest word-order differences from English.

Yes, Turkish word order is flexible, but changing it usually changes the focus or emphasis.

For example:

• İtiraz süresi sulh ceza hâkimliğinde kontrol edildi.
  Neutral/formal: the objection period was checked at the criminal peace judgeship.

• Sulh ceza hâkimliğinde itiraz süresi kontrol edildi.
  This puts slightly more focus on where it was checked.

In legal or formal writing, the original order sounds natural and standard.

It is a specific legal institution in Turkey. For learners, it is best treated as a fixed legal term rather than translated word by word every time.

Very roughly, it refers to a criminal peace judgeship or a court/judgeship handling certain criminal matters.

Because it is a legal term, you may see different English renderings depending on context, but in Turkish it functions as the name of an institution.

So in this sentence, sulh ceza hâkimliğinde simply tells you the institutional location where the checking happened.

These marks affect pronunciation and spelling.

• â in hâkim can indicate a slightly longer vowel or a more careful, traditional spelling. In modern speech, many speakers pronounce it almost like a normal a, but the spelling is common in formal words of Arabic origin.
• ğ in hâkimliği is the soft g. It usually does not sound like a strong English g. Instead, it often:
  • lengthens the vowel before it, or
  • creates a smooth transition between vowels

So hâkimliğinde is not pronounced with a hard g sound in the middle.

Not a normal active subject. Because the sentence is passive, the agent is left unmentioned.

So the meaning is basically:

• The objection period was checked at the criminal peace judgeship.

Turkish does this very often, especially in:

• legal language
• official reports
• academic writing
• news style

The sentence is more interested in the event than in the person who performed it.
