Secilmesi

Seçilmesi is a Turkish noun formed from the verb “seçmek” (to choose or to elect) through the passive form “seçilmek” and the nominalizing suffix “-mesi.” It denotes the act or result of being chosen or elected. The term can refer to a specific event—such as a person being chosen by a group—or to the general process of selection. In usage, seçilmesi functions as a noun and can appear as the subject or object in a sentence. Examples include: “Adayların seçilmesi için kampanya yürütüldü.” “Seçilmesi süreci uzun sürdü.” It can also appear in subordinate clauses, e.g., “Seçilmesi beklenen başkan adayları açıklandı” (The candidates expected to be elected were announced). The nuance is that “seçilmesi” emphasizes the occurrence of being chosen rather than the act of choosing.

In Turkish grammar, -mesi/-ması is a common nominalizing suffix that turns verbs into abstract nouns or clauses. Therefore, seçilmesi can function as the subject (Seçilmesi önemli bir süreçtir) or the object within a sentence (Seçilmesi gerektiği belirtildi). Related verbal forms include “seçmek” (to choose/elect) and its passive “seçilmek,” while “seçilmiş” denotes something or someone that has already been chosen or elected.
