Sözcüðün son hecesindeki ünlü =
sözcüðün son hecesi = It means "the last syllable of the word"
this is a compound noun.
In turkish "of the word" part comes before the noun, here it´s "syllable"
sözcüðün = of the word
sözcük = word
Forget the "son" which means "last" and look at the compound noun "sözcüðün hecesi"
sözcüðün hecesi
The suffixes in bold are standard suffixes to form a defined compound noun.
To form a defined compound noun, you add the genitive suffix "-in, -ýn, -un, -ün". You have to choose the right form according to the vowel harmony rules.
Here "sözcük + ün" , we take "ün" form of the genitive suffix because the last vowel of the word is "ü" (sözcük). However you cannot leave the word as "sözcükü", you have to make another changement this time according to the consonant harmony rules. sözcükü --> sözcüðün
k softens to "ð" because when you add a suffix that starts with a vowel to a word of which last letter is "k", k softens to ð.
To form a defined compound you add the -ý, -i, -u, ü suffix (which is called third singular possessive suffix) to the second element of the compound which is "hece (syllable)" here.
hece + i (you do not choose "ý" but "i" because of the vowel harmony)
However you cannot leave it "hecei" because in turkish you have to put a consonant between two vowels. The fusion consonants in turkish are "y,s and n". Here you pick, "s", and it becomes "hecesi". (as well you need to learn which fusion consonant to put in between because they result in different meanings, forexample "heceni =your syllable, hecesi = his/her/its syllable, heceyi = the syllable)
Here you have "sözcüðün hecesi"
You can add your adjectives before the noun that you want to describe.
"Sözcüðün son hecesi"
hecesinde = -de suffix here is a case suffix, and it gives the meaning (in,at,on etc)
"n" is a fusion consonant that is used to be a link between a word that ends with a consonant ("hecesi") and the -de suffix.
Sözcüðün son hecesinde = in the last syllable of the word
Sözcüðün son hecesindeki = -ki is a suffix that means "that is/are"
Sözcüðün son hecesindeki ünlü = the vowel that is in the last syllable of the word
