kontrolü

Kontrolü is a Turkish noun form derived from the word kontrol, meaning control, supervision, or regulation. The suffix -ü marks the third-person singular possessive, so kontrolü roughly translates as his/her/its control, and in many contexts serves as the definite noun “the control” when the possessor is implied by context. The term is widely used in everyday language as well as in technical, legal, and administrative discourse to indicate oversight or checking activities.

Kontrol is a loanword from French contrôle, adopted into Turkish in the modern period and adapted to Turkish phonology and morphology. The possessive form kontrolü appears in phrases that specify what is being controlled, or whose control is being referred to, such as kalite kontrolü (quality control) or devletin kontrolü altında (under the state’s control).

In usage, kontrolü commonly appears in compounds describing processes, systems, or authorities under supervision. Examples include kalite kontrolü (quality control), üretim sürecinin kontrolü (control of the production process), and güvenlik kontrolü (security check). The form is productive, and other possessive forms yield phrases like benim kontrolüm (my control) or şirketin kontrolü (the company’s control), or kontrolün amacı (the purpose of the control).
