    'The person in duty'

    "Burada görevli kim?"

    "Who's in duty here?"

    But 'görevli' can also mean 'in charge', 'at work', 'employee', ...


    Literally: görev+li = duty+with (with duty)



    EDIT:

    The exact translation is actually 'the dutied': the person with a duty charged upon him.

    I don't think you will *ever* hear or read 'the dutied' anywhere though, use the examples from before.
    "incumbent"
    or
    "the person who is in charge of something"
    or even
    "officer"
    can be the various definitions of the word "görevli"
