because in Turkish both the possessor (ev) and the possessed thing (oda) require suffixes

We use genitive case (-In) in order to say X of Y or Y's X as a possession.
-den/-dan (Ablative case) never means of as a possessive/genitive construction. It basically means from, through, than.
It also means out of. So, Let's go out of here - Buradan çıkalım. or I did it out of fear. - Korkudan yaptım.
Sometimes it can mean of, but there is no certain rule of this.
I am bored of you. - Senden sıkıldım.
I am scared of you. - Senden korkuyorum.
So -den/-dan doesn't equal to of.
I am having trouble with word order. Why is 'Bir oda evde' wrong? This right answer is like "the house's one room", no? Why is that right?

because "of" also indicates possession just like 's in house's ???
"bir oda evde" doesn't make much sense, but even if it did, it would only indicate location

Because of the way Turkish does compound nouns. Ev odası would mean something like ''house room'' -- a general category for a particular type of room. If you want to say ''the house's room'' -- the example here -- you need the genitive suffix on the first noun as well as the second.

why would it be evinin?the root word is ev and you add possessive suffix -in od the word.
