hecesinde

Hecesinde is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “in its syllable.” It is formed from the noun hece (syllable) with the third-person possessive suffix -si, giving hecesi, and the locative suffix -nde, yielding hecesinde. The phrase is used in linguistic and grammatical contexts to indicate a position or feature located inside a syllable of a word or phrase.

Morphology and construction: the base noun hece takes the possessive suffix -si to create hecesi (“its syllable”), then the locative suffix -nde is added to form hecesinde (“in its syllable”). This combination is common in Turkish for expressing location within a structural unit of a word, such as a syllable, mora, or other substructure, depending on the discussion.

Usage: hecesinde is typically found in linguistic descriptions, grammar explanations, and analyses of phonology or prosody. It is not related to feces or medical contexts; those meanings are separate and use different Turkish vocabulary (for example, dışkı or gaita). The phrase often accompanies questions or statements about the position of features like stress (vurgu), vowel quality, or consonant distribution within the syllables of a word.

Examples:

- Bu kelimenin hecesinde hangi sesli harf var? (Which vowel is in this word’s syllable?)

- Cümlenin hecesinde vurgu hangi hecede bulunuyor? (In which syllable of the sentence does the stress fall?)
