Questions & Answers about Araç muayenesi bitmedi; hâlbuki muayene raporu hazır görünüyor.

Why is it araç muayenesi and not araç muayene?

Because Turkish often forms noun-noun combinations this way:

• first noun: bare form
• second noun: takes the 3rd person possessive ending -(s)ı / -(s)i / -(s)u / -(s)ü

So:

• araç = vehicle
• muayene = inspection
• araç muayenesi = vehicle inspection

Literally, it is something like the vehicle’s inspection, but in natural English it just means vehicle inspection. This is a very common Turkish structure.

Why is it muayene raporu and not just muayene rapor?

For the same reason as araç muayenesi. This is another noun compound:

• muayene = inspection
• rapor = report
• muayene raporu = inspection report

The second noun gets the compound ending, so rapor becomes raporu here. This -u is not the accusative in this sentence; it is part of the noun-compound structure.
