Learn Turkish: Uzmanlar, sistemde denetimin çok çarpık olduğunu vurguluyor. - The experts emphasize that the inspection in the system is very unplanned.

This is how Turkish forms "that" clauses for adjectives and nouns. Since çarpık (unplanned/crooked) is an adjective, it lacks a verb stem to attach the clause suffix to. Instead, we use olmak (to be) as a helper verb. We add the factive suffix -duk, followed by the 3rd person possessive -u (matching the inspection), a buffer -n-, and the accusative case -u, which is required because this entire clause is the direct object of the verb vurguluyor (emphasizes).

Why is the word for inspection in the genitive case (denetimin)?

In Turkish embedded clauses created with -dık (like olduğunu), the subject of that specific clause takes the genitive case. So, "the inspection" becomes denetimin (the inspection's), which pairs with the possessive suffix on olduğu. You can think of the literal translation as: "The experts emphasize the inspection's being very unplanned."

Does çarpık literally mean "unplanned"?

Literally, çarpık means "crooked," "distorted," or "skewed." When applied to systems, institutions, or city developments (as in the very common phrase çarpık kentleşme - unplanned urbanization), it describes something that grew or was built in a chaotic, irregular, or dysfunctional way without proper structure.
