You can use "tuhaf" and "garip" as awkward but "sakar" is different from them. "Sakar" means like a "butterfingered" or "imcompent". For example : "O adam çok tuhaf/garip biri, sürekli bize bakıyor. (Those man is very awkward, he is always watching us) "Bu çocuk çok sakar, her zaman kahvesini gömleğine döker" (This boy is so incompetent, he always pours his coffee to his shirt. )

'tuhaf and garip' interchangable 'sakar' can not

you can use "tuhaf "and "garip" interchangable. They are adjectives and they have the same meaning. But "garip" also means one more meaning. "garip" also means "homeless" , "pour" , or anybody who is in need of help desperately but noone to help him. And this time it is a noun. Sakar means "clumsy". Clumsy is a personality . In turkish it is almost the same meaning but sometimes you can act "sakar" if you are so much excited or afraid. you may do awkward things.Then people may call you "sakar".
