Seçmeler

Seçmeler is a Turkish noun meaning selections or compilations. It derives from the verb seçmek (to choose) with the noun-forming suffix -me, and its plural is Seçmeler. The term is used broadly in Turkish to denote curated collections of items chosen from a larger set.

In music and publishing, Seçmeler is a common title for compilation albums that gather an artist’s notable or popular songs, sometimes including remastered or previously unreleased tracks. Such albums provide an overview of an artist’s career or a specific period and are analogous to a “greatest hits” or “best of” release in English-language catalogs. Many Turkish artists and labels release albums titled Seçmeler, making it a familiar format in discographies.

In sports, Seçmeler refers to groups or events formed from a larger pool of players, emphasizing the selection process. Phrases such as millî takım Seçmeleri (national team selections) or seçim kampları (selection camps) describe auditions, trials, or squads formed for competition or training purposes.

In literature and media, Seçmeler can denote anthologies or curated collections of writings, poems, or other works assembled from a broader repertoire. Across domains, the term highlights the act or result of selecting items deemed representative or notable from a larger whole.
