A syllable is a unit of pronunciation uttered without interruption, loosely, a single sound. All words are made from at least one syllable. Monosyllables are words that have have only one vowel sound; polysyllables have more than one. If a syllable ends with a consonant, it is called a closed syllable. If a syllable ends with a vowel, it is called an open syllable. Patterns of syllables can be shown with C and V (C for 'consonant', V for 'vowel'). Closed syllables are often shown as CVC (such as got), and open syllables as CV (such as go).
Vector: a quantity with more than one element (more than one piece of information). That isn't the best definition, but it is better than magnitude and direction.. Perhaps the best way to understand vectors is to look at some examples.
